Clubs, events, venues that have closed or have passed away. Some are known
closed, some are no longer suitable for inclusion, some have lost their venues

Nightnews supported many of these with publicity and other help.

Holyrood Tavern
CLOSED AND MOTHBALLED 2006/07
9a Holyrood Road EH8 8AE
Tel: Landlord Mark 0131 556 5044
CHECK
LISTING
Was once the main Edinburgh goth and alternative pub and pre-club hang
out. Still enjoys pre-club pubbers for the Bongo club nearbye. Bookable
function room with stage doubling as a Fringe venue. Spacious and preferred
watering hole over the years of many Edinburgh University and other
whacky and wackier societies including Beltanites, covens, stand up
comedians, linux fans and literary groups. Landlord Mark is sometimes
seen in fishnets, leopard heels, kilt etc, and the pub has much the
same clientele as the one above! Sometimes problems with neds from
the two hostels nearbye but the pub was well policed by former publican
Mark and his staff. The fringe venue is managed by Rare Birds Entertainment.

Elbarrio |
'El Barrio'
CLOSED AND RELOCATED
Ex - 104 West Port, Edinburgh EH3 9DN
0131 229 8805
El Barrio is not a theme bar, it is a latino owned and run bar catering
to Edinburgh's significantly sized latin community. It has Salsa and
other classes earlier in the evening. Safe for salsa loving ladies
and their girlfriends. Best place to be on otherwise dead Edinburgh
Monday nights for the longstanding latino pub night; with excellent
Mojito's and also San Miguels both on promotion. Latin cocktails, usual
wines and spirits, bottled cervezas but no draught. Some latin and
international goth clientele liking salsa music have been spotted here!
Generally ned free with a strict door policy.

0131 225 9744
A venue on four floors with bars on all of them and an ample performance
area in the basement with stage, lighting, high quality sound equipment

largely to 'insiders,' the arty and musically inclined. Many free gig
nights, competitive drinks prices and promotions, pleasant, friendly
staff and a reasonably strict door policy to keep out undesirables.
Great shebeen ambience.
