WELCOME TO PORTOBELLO TAP

Your craft beer watering hole, just minutes from Portobello beach.

Discover our exceptional brews, kick back in the secret beer garden and don't miss out on the legendary burgers served fresh from the Porty Shack.

Join us for great beer, good vibes, and mouthwatering bites at ‘Scotland’s Craft Beer Bar of the Year 2020/21’.

We do get very busy at certain times so if you want to guarantee yourself a table (inside or out)  then we recommend booking first.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Our focus is on showcasing the best of Scottish spirits from small-batch, high-quality producers like Electric Spirit, Sweet Dram, and Holyrood Distillery.

When it comes to wine, we've carefully selected a list that highlights small, quality producers.

Savour the unique flavours and craftsmanship in every sip and know that you are supporting this vital industry, one glass (or bottle!) at a time.
