The Bailie

The Bailie is a well-established neighbourhood pub in the heart of Stockbridge, Edinburgh, where dogs are welcome inside the bar area. It's a genuine local with food service, regular live music and sport on screen – the kind of place that suits a proper visit rather than just a quick drink.

This is a handy stop for a Stockbridge stroll or a detour on the way to the Water of Leith, so if you're making a dog-friendly afternoon of it across the area, it breaks up the walk nicely. The pub sits about 0.8 miles from the city centre, close enough for a walk-in visit but far enough from the tourist crush.

Opening times, current events and food details are available on their official site. Street and paid parking options are typical for the area, though city-centre walking is often the easiest approach.
