Family friendly, great food, warm atmosphere - find it all at The Espy
Traditional pub featuring hearty meals, cocktails and outdoor seats with views of the Firth
More Than Just a Night Out
Looking over the sands of Portobello, across the Firth of Forth to the Kingdom of Fife is the Esplanade or as some folks like to say the Espy. We serve fresh food including breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night nachos. We also run film nights/quiz nights where we raise money for the local cat and dog home, parmy night as well as Rum and Roast night.
We are a relaxed, dog friendly bar and restaurant serving up daily specials. We love welcoming locals and holiday makers and would love to see you!
More than just a pub......
At The Espy on Portobello's famous seafront, we like to think we're more than just a pub. We have a thriving community of locals and we love to welcome visitors and holidaymakers too. Our food is all home made and all delicious. Don't expect just pub classics - we like to add new and exciting dishes like Jambalaya, Tex Mex and Thai curries to our menu alongside our famous burgers and parmos. Food is available from 8.30am when we begin serving our hearty breakfasts right through till late night tacos.
Of course our drinks menu is as varied and exciting as our food and we have regular guest ales, wines and whiskeys.
Events wise we have everything from Bird Bingo for a rainy afternoon to live music, food themed nights, film nights and our regular Wednesday quiz. We're proud to support our local dog and cat rescue centre and raise lots of cash for them.
So whether you just want a quiet pint and to read the paper or something more lively, we've got what you're looking for at The Espy.
