Wheelchair accessible cafes and bars in Edinburgh

40 venues, ranked on what OpenStreetMap actually records about each one.

How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone needs to know a venue is step-free before they travel to it. 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 cafe-type venues in Edinburgh. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Edinburgh venues are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 433 venues in Edinburgh that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 12 have Wi-Fi recorded and 31 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Edinburgh venues have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Milk, The Alexander Graham Bell, Whiski, Fiddler's Arms and Red Kite Café 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 Alexander Graham Bell, Whiski, Fiddler's Arms, The Elephant House and George IV Bar 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?

Milk, The Alexander Graham Bell, Whiski, Fiddler's Arms and Canopy 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 - step-free access recorded, limited step-free access recorded, accessible toilet recorded, opening hours published, outdoor seating - 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.
