We found this movie tie-in to be a "Recommended" purchase. The IPA itself is modern and crisp with a "hint of fruit," though the real star is the Predator branding. It's the perfect beer for pairing with popcorn and a movie, and a "good buy" for collectors.

Review: Siren's 'Predator: Badlands' First Hunt IPA - Edinburgh Reviews

A must-buy for sci-fi geeks, this Predator collaboration from Siren is a solid win. The beer is a "good beer" (if "not a great beer"), offering crisp, modern, fruity hop flavours. The main event is the "cool" can, but the liquid inside is a tasty "Saturday night action movie beer."

Johns' Boys delivered a fantastic night of music that bridged traditional Welsh choir power with contemporary pop, creating a virtuous cycle of joy with the enthusiastic Queen's Hall audience.

Review: Johns' Boys at The Queen's Hall - Edinburgh Reviews

From formal dinner jackets to casual jeans, Johns' Boys charmed Edinburgh. Their 'Choir of the World' talent shone in Welsh anthems and Robbie Williams covers alike. The audience 'Loch Lomond' singalong was a highlight. A brilliant show.

We ordered the Gimmie Brownies Halloween Box. The taste was glorious! Unfortunately, the box was badly dented by Parcel Force, meaning the delicate festive toppings got stuck to the paper. Such a shame. Read our full review.

Review: Gimmie Brownies Halloween Box - Edinburgh Reviews

Gimmie Brownies' Halloween box is "sinfully delicious." I ate all six in a day. The taste is 5/5. But the box arrived dented via Parcel Force, and the artistic toppings were squished. If I had kids, they'd be "gutted." A 3/5 for a damaged festive treat.

A strong 4/5 recommendation, Mara impresses with its flexible venue and quality local sourcing, let down only by some inconsistent portioning.

Review: Mara, a stylish gastropub on The Shore - Edinburgh Reviews

A flexible gastropub in Leith's competitive Shore district. Mara shines with its outdoor seating, local craft ales, and late weekend hours. The menu is strong, though some main dishes feel more like light bites. A stylish spot for discerning friends.

Planning a trip to the Vue Cinema at Ocean Terminal? We reviewed the new Mother Hubbard's. You might want to allow extra time for your food.

Review: Mother Hubbard's, Fish and Chips at Ocean Terminal - Edinburgh Reviews

A practical, clean spot with room for prams, located by the Vue cinema. Sadly, the slow service is a deal-breaker if you're in a hurry. You'll find better, faster fish and chips on Bernard Street.

Review: Bellfield Leith, a worthy successor to Nobles - Edinburgh Reviews

Bellfield takes over Leith's iconic Nobles bar, and it's a triumph. The stunning brass and stained-glass interior is safe, now with Bellfield's (gluten-free!) craft beer on tap. Guest kitchen Bia provided delicious burgers on a buzzing, dog-friendly opening night.

It is indeed a great gastro pub with an interesting history. Known as ‘The Jungle’ to Leithers in the 1960’s and 70’s, so it has definitely changed its mood, cuisine and clientele since then. #Leith #edinburghwalks

The King's Wark is a historic gastro pub on The Shore, Leith. It’s a favourite that's (almost) always brilliant. The food is classic (great Fish and Chips, steak, curry), the building is fantastic, and the vibe is traditional. Highly recommended.

Review: The King's Wark, a gastropub in Leith - Edinburgh Reviews

Located in a building of Royal construction, The King's Wark offers a classic gastro pub menu, featuring standout fish and chips, and relaxing window views on Leith's famous Shore.
