Entertainment & Nightlife

Edinburgh’s a hot spot for night life with more trendy bars and night clubs than we could possibly do justice to here. Edinburgh’s the place to dress up or dress down, get on out there and get on down! MTV clocked this and held the star-studded Music Awards in the city in November – when one of the biggest thrills was when Justin Timberlake stole away from the razzmatazz for an hour to take over the decks at the City Edinburgh club in Market Street. The word was, unsurprisingly, that it was ‘absolutely amazing’. But then Edinburgh’s an A1 hot spot for night life with more trendy bars and hip hop happening night clubs than we could possibly do justice to here. So we can only give you a flavour and some hot links to follow to find out what this ‘city of the night’ holds for you.

House, Garage, Drum n Bass, Hip Hop, R n B, Mainstream, Techno, Trance and Salsa: all musical and dance tastes are catered for with the coolest DJs on the scene. And with clubs like Manga, Taste, Low Gravity, Evol, Bootylicious, Headspin, Pogo Vogue, Dogma, Joy, E-ruptor, Audio Deluxe, Mingin, Progression and Obscene there should be nothing to hold you back from taking the floor.
