Where hangs the coolest crowds and who bangs the biggest bass?

Basement Jazz
The underground cavey interior of Henry’s Jazz Bar is the perfect setting for the city’s coolest jazz club. All the greats have played here and the clientele is an eclectic fusion of jazz lovers and jazz wannabes. Still smoking ... even after the ban.

Henry’s Jazz Bar, Morrison St (0131-538-7385)

Electric Voltaire
Housed in the old caverns of Edinburgh’s underground city, Cabaret Voltaire is one of the city’s best-loved live music venues.  It caters for a wide range of musical tastes and is a seasoned Festival late-night venue. Life is the Cabaret Voltaire, old chum!

Cabaret Voltaire, 36 Blair St (0131-220-6176)


Come Bongo
The Bongo Club has been breaking new ground since it was set up in 1996.  Running as a cafe, exhibition and rehearsal space during the day, it transforms into a multi functional, multi media venue for live music, theatre and clubs at night. One of the best Festival venues, as well as THE place to club late-night.

The Bongo Club, 37 Holyrood Rd (0131-558-7604)

Ego a-Go-Go
Ego is a former wartime dancehall. If being the budding historian and checking out the place where dancing in Edinburgh began does not appeal, then the venue also offers a fantastic array of glamorous club nights, including the popular Vegas! Prepare to party till its doors close at 5am.

Club Ego, 14 Picardy Place, (0131-478-7434)
