Clubbing

The club scene is alive and kicking in Edinburgh, with plenty of established favourites and new names that are open to the very wee hours every night of the week.

Lava & Ignite, Lava is an authentic replica of a 70s disco with mirror flex walls, mirrored ceiling and mirror balls and plays hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s whilst Ignite is the main DJ area and has live acts regularly. Cabaret Voltaire hosts club events as well as having around 30 live gigs each month. Club ego – established for more than 10 years as a nightclub, club host and live music venue. RED is a vodka aficionado's dream, plays mainstream, House and R&B – stag and hen parties welcome!

Or for a slightly more sophisticated night out try Lulu, The Jam House and Shanghai Club.
