The Innis & Gunn Brewery Taproom

Innis & Gunn's taproom brings live music, quality pub grub and a slew of good beers to Lothian Road

The 2019 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Innis & Gunn have dropped the kitchen from their name in favour of taproom, signalling more of a focus on their favourite thing: beer. They’re still doing food, but it’s more angled towards pub classics done well, with plenty of veggie and vegan options. They’ve made changes to the space too, opening things out and filling it with wooden sharing tables, and there’s live music on Friday and Saturday nights. With 26 beers on taps and enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff it’s good place to try out a few options; if you can’t decide, go for a flight. Naturally beers from the home brewery star, but they also feature local colleagues like Campervan and beyond. Brew school still runs on a Sunday and there’s a surprisingly good choice of cocktails, gin and whisky.
