About Three Marys
Three Marys is a quirky, welcoming cocktail bar in Leith that has earned a devoted following for its expertly crafted drinks and magnetic staff presence. The bar stands out for its casual yet trendy atmosphere, where both regulars and walk-ins feel equally at home. The cocktail programme is the centrepiece: reviewers consistently praise the quality and creativity, from classic Espresso Martinis to bespoke creations tailored to individual taste. Live music after 9pm adds to the draw, as does a rotating trivia night that keeps the crowd engaged. The team, particularly bartender Adrian, is repeatedly singled out for warmth and attentiveness—one reviewer noted that a single staff member "did the job of 5" during a busy Sunday service. The bar also stocks a thoughtful wine list and curated beer selection, alongside food offerings that reviewers describe as flavourful and well-executed. Dogs are welcome, and free Wi-Fi makes it easy to linger.
