Another newcomer to up-and-coming Duke Street, Nauticus opened in summer 2018 and specialises in cocktails, as well as a curated offering of Scottish beers and ales.
The theme - as the name would suggest - is heavily inspired by Leith’s rich seafaring history. Cue nautical knots and a full-sized brass divers helmet on display. Yet it’s not done in a tacky way and very much maintains a comfortable, local pub feel.
They have some intriguing and unique cocktails available. Their ‘Marmite offering’ (love it or hate it) would have to be the Porridge Colada - a coconut washed Aberfeldy whisky with honey, oatmilk and pineapple.
One of the cities finest drinking establishments.
