Property details
Located in Leith, north of Edinburgh city centre, Hemingways sits in a lively high street setting with a vibrant hospitality scene. There are eight competing venues within walking distance, ranging from traditional pubs to Michelin-starred restaurants. The area attracts young, affluent consumers and benefits from visitors to The Shore, the Farmers Market and the Royal Yacht Britannia. Constitution Street tram stop is around a 10-minute walk away. Approximately 12,500 adults live within a 10-minute walk, rising to 35,000 within 20 minutes.
The planned refurbishment of Hemingways will cover both the interior and exterior of the pub.
Internally, the investment will refresh the bar and trading areas, creating welcoming spaces for customers to enjoy quality drinks, casual dining and social occasions. A separate dining room, snug and function room will provide flexibility for different groups and occasions, while the refitted commercial kitchen will support a strong food-led offer.
Externally, full redecoration and a new signage scheme will improve the pub's kerb appeal, while the refurbished garden and beer terrace will provide attractive outdoor trading space.
The pub's trading area and facilities post refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Separate dining room
- Snug area
- Function room
- 80 internal covers
- 40 external covers
- Catering kitchen
- Pub garden and beer terrace

Experienced Operator
Trading style
The landlords are planning a refurbishment in the region of £318,000 to transform Hemingways into a premium local pub, with refreshed interiors, an inviting exterior and a versatile offer for different occasions.
The pub has previously relied on weekend trade and has since closed. The investment creates an opportunity to re-establish its reputation with a distinctive, all-day offer. A refreshed bar, dining spaces and outdoor terrace will help Hemingways attract a broader audience, including residents, families, casual diners and younger professionals looking to socialise after work, as well as walk-in and destination customers.
If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, the landlords would love to hear what experience you can bring. The right operator for Hemingways will have extensive experience in food-led hospitality businesses. They will have a clear vision for a quality food and drink menu, daytime trading, community events and a marketing strategy that will build a strong local following and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
If this sounds like the incredible pub opportunity you’ve been waiting for, apply today and tell the landlords what you can bring to this pub’s next chapter.
