Nightlife in Scotland

The Jazz Bar

For a more relaxed night filled with good music, food and drink, go to The Jazz Bar. Named after the music it’s known for, the bar also plays blues, roots, acoustic, funk and soul. The venue has an old-time feel to it with the interiors covered in bare stone and polished wood. It can only accommodate 140 people at any given time so for a night here plan to get there early. Some events are free and others will cost up to $10.

The Bongo Club

Located in Edinburgh, this club is for those that want a wild night out on the town. Many of the young people in the area pack into the venue on the weekends for cheap drinks and electronic music that will play until 3 a.m. It has an industrial look to it with hanging lights, adding to the atmosphere of the space. At this club, memories are made with friends looking to have a great time.

Sandy Bell’s

Looking for some traditional Scottish and Irish music to carry you through the night? This is the spot. This is a folk bar that attracts people from all over because of its dedication to traditional music. Visitors to the bar can see people playing with fiddles and mandolins. There are performers every night and some during the day as well. There’s no entry charge so spend all your extra money
