Planet Bar

About this place Planet Bar

Planet Bar on Baxter's Place at the foot of Leith Walk provides Edinburgh's gay community with a dedicated dancing option in a venue that sits between the bar and full nightclub categories. The basement dancefloor runs DJ nights from Thursday through Sunday, with a programming mix of pop, house, R&B and themed nights that suits Edinburgh's broad LGBTQ+ demographic. The upstairs bar area operates as a social space while the basement heats up — a two-level operation that lets the evening unfold at its own pace. Planet Bar is one of the most reliable dancing options in Edinburgh for LGBTQ+ visitors: not as large as a major club but with enough space and energy to constitute a genuine dancefloor experience. The Leith Walk location puts it within easy walking distance of Picardy Place, CC Bloom's and the Regent Bar for those constructing a Pink Triangle evening.
