You never know who you'll meet in this big, friendly bar in the heart of Morningside. It could be the local pensioners calling in for a morning coffee; it could be the students from nearby Napier University; it could be the am-dram audience en route to the Churchill Theatre; it could be families who know a great menu when they see one; it could be the ceilidh crowd making use of the upstairs dance floor; or it could be the football fans, making the most of the two Sky boxes and multiple TV screens. Whoever you meet, you're assured of a warm welcome, good company and a fine choice of drinks, from Belhaven Best to Peroni on tap.
From the Scottish Premiership to the Scottish Championship, International games, and SWPL, Belhaven has you covered with an incredible atmosphere to watch the big game!
