Discover The Bongo Club, a late-night venue run by a local arts charity in Edinburgh. Check the programme for a DJ night, then dance until closing in a space with creative roots.
Full description
The Bongo Club is owned by a local arts charity and functions as both a late-night club and a wider cultural space, with programming that has included film, theatre, comedy and dance or fitness workshops. As a nightclub it opens late, with Saturdays running from 11 pm to 3 am, and it is closed on Mondays.
Its community-arts roots give it a more local feel than a commercial club. Recent reviews are mixed to critical, with several complaints about door staff behaviour and about how unwanted attention from other patrons is handled, so it is worth reading recent feedback and keeping an eye on your group.

Total abuse of power same…
