THE CITY CAFE
19 Blair Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1QR
Info Tel: 0131 220 0125
Free Wi-fi Network
Edinburgh's longstanding, crumbling, art-deco, diner style cafe, restaurant & bar is in the process of creeping refurbishment.. Serving breakfast, lunch & main meals, (tasty burgers, wraps, chili, veggie options, chips etc) 11am-10pm, happy hour 5-8pm,with selected drinks £1.80, bottles of wine on offer as well. Coffee and Newspapers available. Open til 1am, DJ's from 9pm. Two Snooker tables. Kewl, fierce Eel called Damien in one of the fish tanks. Strictly best in the daytime for meals. Rated in the Independent recently as one of the best places for brunch in the UK. Too many neds after 9pm on Fri/Sat, so go in at your own risk then. Music dj's after 9pm can sometimes be brain numbingly mainstream. Generally sensible security staff shared with CAB across the street.
Club or function basement area with full dj pa and projection screen available.

Brass Monkey
14 Drummond Street, EDINBURGH, EH8 9TU.
0131 556 1961
An ancient spit and sawdust pub that recently made the transition to catering to a more cosmopolitan and modern clientele. Open fireplace surrounded by comfy sofas for the winter months. Some handy back rooms with indoor cinema. Its now firmly a student haunt where alternative scene types will not feel out of place. Said to have been a watering hole of the great and the good, i.e. Gordon Brown, Donald Dewar, Lord McClusky, in its previous incarnation, 'Stewart's bar. Door policy firmly based around 'three wise monkeys.'

Peartree House
38 W Nicholson Street, Edinburgh EH8 9DD
tel. 0131 667 7533
Free Wi-fi Network
Small cosy pub in a building dating from the 18th century. Open coal fireplace during the winter months. Massive beer garden which is great in the summer months when you can sit outdoors. Best value and tastiest coffee with a good selection of daily newspapers. Has held an outdoor lunchtime barbecue in more recent summers. No under 18's.

Favorit
19/20 Teviot Place, Edinburgh EH1 2QZ
T. 0131 220 6880
Mon-Sun 8am-2.30am
Ideal location to take your date when you meet up, chill out after an evening out or satiate the late night munchies. Webmaster likes the tapas and the premium beers are very reasonably priced for Edinburgh. Not so keen on the coffee though. Retro chic, safe for ladies alone or in groups and suitable if you are a posher goth and not put off by the posh ferrets in pashminas that hang out there in term time. No neds and they are actively discouraged by the late night, weekend door policy. Plenty more reviews if you google it.

Arty, post-grunge alternative coffee shop with a mean organic brew, popular with eco friendlies, Spanish community, beltane types and more.. Ok for babygoths, but beware of pickpockets and bag-thieves, generally no neds.

Teviot House Student Union
Bristo Sq, Edinburgh EH8 9AL
Tel 0131 650 4462
Edinburgh University Student Union bar and venue. This is the largest of the Edinburgh University student union buildings and is also the oldest purpose built such building in the world. With 5 bars over 7 floors and a refractory, dining area and snack bars. It hosts many university society functions, some of the Edinburgh International Fringe and other musical events. Excellent drinks promotions. This venue has a club licence and is geared to students and members. Non-members need to be signed in. Everyone needs i.d to be admitted. Alternative types may expect some occasional harassment from drunken 'normal' students and users. Location is dangerous at night and there have been reports of assaults, mugging, a stabbing, as well as the rape of a customer in Bristo Square after a clubbing night out in the Potterrow Union building.There was another sexual assault recently on a second female customer within Potterrow Union building on a club night! Vagrants loiter in the area outside during the day, drinking and sniffing glue in public. If you are the victim of a crime in a union building or in the area, report it to the Police at once; insist that EUSA and the Teviot management report it to the Police also!

00 44 (0) 131 558 7604
Free Internet Cafe :: Free Wi-fi Network
Operates as an internet cafe, exhibition and rehearsal space during the day. At night its a very well equipped, 2 level, multi functional, multi media venue for live music, theatre and clubs. Also an established fringe show and cabaret venue at festival time. Has hosted goth, metal and alternative nights in the past. Reasonable value bar prices, strict door policy and not the sort of place neds would frequent or get into easily.

The Wee Red Bar
Edinburgh College of Art
74 Lauriston Place EH3 8DF
Union Tel: 0131 229 1442
Art college student bar and venue with a reputation as a focus for musical and club talent. Famous for hosting 'The Egg' a longstanding city indie-rock night. An intimate 'insiders' club space with an eclectic musical history, the webmaster especially liked its long gone 'Detroit techno' night. A safe haven for arty young ladies, whether goth, punky or in pashminas, cashmere sweaters and pearls. Good value bar prices. Strict ned exclusion policy.

Studio 24
24-26 Calton Road Edinburgh EH8 8DP
Open 7 days a week, gigs till 11pm with a late licence as advertised. A post apocalyptic ambience, with a clever industrial-wasteland, derelict factory interior design style; till the club below, the venue was generally known for rave hall type events in the late 90's and early 00's. Some legendary bands played there in the late 80's and early 90's when under different ownership. It's said to be the last resting place of the London Soho Marquee club stage. Now developing live music in the early part of the evening whenever possible like many other venues.

Retribution [ex-Mission]
In 2006 Studio 24 management founded RETRIBUTION to replace the Mission night which was failing to keep up with the times. Studio 24 would like to inherit the alternative community which supported such nights as its own customers. There are some LJ & EMS links relating to this below
Studio 24 have booted out the mission
The Mission is NOT on! - 1
The Mission is NOT on! - 2
Studio 24 has kicked it out.
Mission relaunched at Studio 24 as Retribution

Sanctuary [ex-Mission Junior]
After Retribution took over the Mission night, Mission Junior, the notorious under 18's night, closed for a short period and was later re-opened as Sanctuary. However this night was then closed again for several months after Police interest and intervention. The night has now re-opened in 2007, see links
Mon 30 Oct 2006
Tue 1 May 2007
http://www.myspace.com/sanctuaryclub

The old club and its name 'The Mission' came from the Scottish and Newcastle owned night-club 'The Rocking Horse' that once had a floor that was called 'The Mission Floor' by its alternative and rock, clubbing community. When it was closed and sold in March 1999, a guy in a band, a promoter and a staff dj, with other talented supporters including the webmaster (though just for six months), launched a wholly new club called 'The Mission' aka 'New Mission' at Studio 24, in mid April that year. It started with three floors like the Rocking Horse but was cut back to two after the fire brigade closed one of them. Old MISSION web resources below are becoming fewer and closing down...

EMS and the metal community
The EMS board was established to obtain the favour of the former Mission promoters. It has moved around over the years and so has buried most of the evidence relating to the gossip, negative activities and evil politics that surrounded the old Mission and now closed Mission Junior at S24. Some of the schoolie metal community, former Mission promoters, certain DJ's, minions and pack rats have used this unmoderated board, in its various incarnations, more than any of the others and still do ..

Bannermans
212 Cowgate, Edinburgh, EH1 1NQ
+44 (0) 131 556 3254
A longstanding Edinburgh student haunt going back decades, popular because of its cavern style ambience, armchairs, candlelight and tasty brews. With three seated areas - if you include the passageway - MTV, and an additional cavern with stage and sound desk, used for pool during the day and live music at night. Good sound system, overkill with the lighting rig, air conditioning - if they remember to put it on - home to some great gigs and other events in recent years.

The Advocate
7 Hunter Sq Old Town, Edinburgh EH1 1QW
0131 226 2749
Hunter Square has suffered from public order problems recently but the city and local police have taken steps to redress this. It is otherwise known for its public toilets, festival market, and as a meeting place at weekends for the spooky-kids that can also be seen hanging out in Cockburn Street nearbye. The Advocate is newly refurbished in 2006, serving meals, children including baby-goths are welcome and it has had some rock clientele at the weekends.

Black Bull Tavern
43 Leith St Edinburgh EH1 3AT
0131 557 5121
Long standing hang-out for the rock scene in Edinburgh, probably due to the proximity of the now closed music venue The Venue, where customers came to the Black Bull to enjoy the cheaper bar prices, while they waited for i.e., 'their mates band' to go on stage. Still a busy pre-club pub for the rock and alternative scene at the weekends. This pub has a loyal following that have consistently rated it highly over the years. Look for the sign of Dionysus.
