Edinburgh Nightlife

The Pulse of LGBTQ+ Nightlife Edinburgh. Open 7 Nights a Week.

When the sun sets over Calton Hill, CC Blooms transforms into the vibrant pulse of Edinburgh's late-night scene. We are the city's original and favourite gay club Edinburgh, open 7 nights a week until 3AM — the most inclusive bar and nightclub in the Pink Triangle.
From iconic drag shows to superstar DJs, every night is a main event. We have served as a critical incubator for Scottish drag talent, including superstars like Lawrence Chaney. Catch our weekly drag shows most weekends or join us for our legendary Sunday drag cabaret, Disgraceful, from 8pm. For our major parties and events, you can find tickets easily via Skiddle on our What's On page.
Whether you're looking for the best gay bar Edinburgh has to offer, exploring the queer nightlife Edinburgh scene, or simply searching for a late night bar Edinburgh with a real atmosphere — CC Blooms is where it all happens.
