Discover The Wee Red Bar, a small, inclusive bar-club tucked inside Edinburgh's university. Catch a live gig or a DJ set in a cosy room that locals and students call their own.

📖

Full description

The Wee Red Bar is a small bar and club located within the university campus, so it can be easy to miss at first. It runs DJ sets and a programme of live concerts, and also hosts occasional events such as record fairs, which draw collectors looking for something different from other local fairs.

Reviewers describe it as cosy and inclusive, with lovely bar staff and a friendly security presence. It opens from 7 pm until 3 am and has a distinctly local, student-adjacent feel, suiting visitors who prefer a small room with live music over a large club.
