 Edinburgh NightlifeEdinburgh''s nightlife comes alive during its many festivals but
the rest of the year a more subdued, trendy night scene fills in
the empty spaces. There is no central nightlife district in
Edinburgh and instead a few different neighbourhoods offer slightly
different night atmospheres. Despite Old Town''s name, the district
has new and trendy areas such as Cowgate and Grassmarket. Both of
these are popular bar-hopping destinations. Great live bands and
folk music is best heard in both these areas and surrounding small
alleys and walkways. The seafront area of Leith shares a trendy and
upmarket feel although, like many areas, it competes with
traditional bars and old pubs. After work watering holes dot the
Edinburgh streets of most neighbourhoods as they have done for
centuries. These are still popular local haunts, a great place to
begin an evening or end a day. Edinburgh enjoys a relaxed nightlife
atmosphere which is shared in lax rules and drinking hours. Most
bars stay open until one to three in the morning, and much later
for festivals. |
