A-Z of Secret Edinburgh: Joseph Pearce’s


Joseph Pearce's

This Swedish-owned bar is an Elm Row institution. With high ceilings and huge windows, Joseph Pearce’s is kitted out in a relaxed, bohemian style (a bit like your granny’s front room if your granny was at all arty!).

Joseph Pearce’s attracts a smorgasbord of interesting characters, making it a perfect spot for a little people watching. It also offers a vast variety of unusual bar activities including knitting, Scrabble and jogging clubs as well as hosting crayfish evenings!

What better excuse for a Scandinavian pub crawl?

The owners have three similarly chilled bars stretching the length of Leith Walk: Victoria, Boda Bar and Sofi’s. What better excuse for a Scandinavian pub crawl?
