Aurora
Modern European eatery open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Deep into an industrial estate, you’ll find Leith’s only brewery taproom. For years small batches of Campervan appeared in selected off-licences (where we buy our drinks in the UK) around Edinburgh, but we can now rejoice its available ice cold and on tap.
Enter the unassuming factory doors and you’ll be rewarded with the tiniest of bars in a no-nonsense setup, with wood pallets used as tables and an industrial vibe.
It gets busy, so you might have to make some new table mates there’s also a decent selection of board games, making it a good hang-out spot for socialising and beer sampling.
Classics include the Leith Juice, a session orange IPA, or the strawberry milkshake porter. The bar staff are always happy to give you a wee sample and help you find the beer that suits you. Taps rotate, check their Twitter for the latest.
As it's a working brewery, they’re only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So don’t turn up thirsty on a Monday.
