📖

Full description

CC Blooms is a two-storey gay bar and club at the heart of Edinburgh's LGBTQ+ nightlife area, combining bars on both levels with a dancefloor and a regular programme of cabaret nights. Opening hours stretch from mid-afternoon at weekends to 3 am, so it works for an early cocktail as much as a late night.

Reviewers mention a cocktail list worth exploring, including espresso martinis, and note it can be quiet midweek while feeling livelier at weekends. Opinions on the crowd and atmosphere vary, with some finding staff welcoming and others finding the scene a little self-regarding.

Reviews

Look at this beautiful Espresso Martini. After doing the regular tourist stuff in Edinburgh (I mean wow - gorgeous), I made it over to the gayborhood and CC Blooms. Pretty dead on a Wednesday, but the place is gorgeous and well lit. And the drink was A+!
