Street

About this place Street

Street at Picardy Place is Edinburgh's most contemporary gay bar — a stylish venue with a proper cocktail list, good music programming, and an interior that distinguishes it clearly from the traditional pub aesthetic of the Regent or the late-night club character of CC Bloom's. The bar sits on Picardy Place, which functions as the southern gateway to the Pink Triangle, and draws a younger and more mixed LGBTQ+ crowd that overlaps with Edinburgh's broader creative and arts scene. Street operates comfortably as a destination in itself rather than as a stop on the way somewhere else — the cocktail quality and the environment support an entire evening. The proximity to Picardy Place roundabout and the city's bus network makes it accessible from most parts of Edinburgh, and the venue is frequently listed as one of Edinburgh's best cocktail bars regardless of specifically gay orientation.
