Edinburgh Gay Bars

The Street is a well-known restaurant & bar for gay locals and visitors looking to take in the sights and sounds of Scotland's buzzing Gay Village. Expect a crowded, casual, laid-back atmosphere.

Serves a good selection and has an outdoor terrace for good weather days. The popular Street NightClub (in the basement) is open on Friday and Saturday nights.

The oldest and most popular gay venue in Edinburgh. CC Blooms is a stylish bar & restaurant by day and a classy nightclub by night.

CC serves excellent cocktails and modern cuisine, and offers a full wine and champagne list. The dance floor at the back of the venue is one of the gay hotspots in Edinburgh.

Small gay bar in the Pink Triangle, with good atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks, a snooker table, an arcade game and DJs.

Planet Bar attracts a younger, mixed/gay crowd. Daily drink promotions.

Not a gay venue, but definitely worth a visit. Paradise Palms is known for its cutting-edge cabaret and live music.

This quirky (mismatched furniture and palm trees) bar + café + alternative arts venue serves amazing vegetarian food and all kinds of drinks.
