Discover Stramash, a restored church in Edinburgh turned into a lively two-level live music venue. Settle in with a drink and enjoy folk, rock or covers from the stage until the early hours.
Full description
Stramash occupies a restored church in Edinburgh's Old Town and spreads across two levels, programming live bands and showing sporting events from the afternoon through to 3 am. Its draw is the live music, ranging from folk sessions to cover bands and tribute acts, and visitors comment on the friendly bartenders, accessible entry and bar prices that are reasonable for the setting.
The restored interior gives it more character than a typical pub gig room, and the crowd is usually lively. It works well as an easy, sociable evening for couples and groups who want live music without a formal concert format.

Great place in Edinburgh opened until the morning. Had great fun in there to folk music. Also prices at the bar are very acceptable for this type of place. Very friendly bartenders. Public accessible WiFi is also worth to be mentioned. Definitely gonna come back next time I will come to Edinburgh!
