How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone needs somewhere still open after midnight that is not a club. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of bar-type venues in Edinburgh. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Edinburgh venues are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 171 venues in Edinburgh that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 8 have Wi-Fi recorded and 40 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Edinburgh venues have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, The Royal Dick, Old Chain Pier, The Alexander Graham Bell, Whiski and Fiddler's Arms all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these venues stay open late?

The Golf Tavern, The Foresters Guild, The Royal Dick, Old Chain Pier and The Cocktail Geeks are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these venues are step-free?

The Foresters Guild, The Cocktail Geeks, Copper Blossom, The Alexander Graham Bell and Whiski are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - open past 1am, open past 11pm, outdoor seating, non-smoking indoors, no live music - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
