Nightclubs in Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s is the home of many bars, nightclubs and events, including the MTV awards and other concerts. There are just far too many places to list, so we’ve narrowed it down to the main areas and drawn up a 7 day plan for the party-goers!

Rose Street

Home of many traditional pubs, including names such as Filthy McNasty’s and the Bad Ass, Rose Street is a quieter area for the older audience. Located in between Princes Street and George Street, Rose Street is within easy reach and a place you must have a drink in during your stay in the capital.

George Street

The hip area of town, George Street hosts many upper class venues such as The Opal Lounge - visited by Prince William and Harry - Shanghai and the Why Not club. Expect to pay more for a drink here but if you want to party in style then George Street is the place to be.
