Sobre este lugar Broughton Street — Barrio LGTBQ+ de Edimburgo

Broughton Street runs downhill from Picardy Place into the New Town, and together with the top of Leith Walk it has been Edinburgh's informal gay quarter for decades, sometimes called the Pink Triangle. It holds the city's densest cluster of LGBTQ+ bars, cafes and community organisations. CC Blooms, the city's best-known gay club, sits just around the corner on Greenside Place by the Playhouse, and The Street bar is at the top of Broughton Street. Expect a mix of gay bars, gay-friendly cafes and restaurants rather than a closed-off strip. It is busiest on Friday and Saturday nights and during Edinburgh Pride and the August festivals. The area is central and walkable from Waverley station.

We were kicked out for being Spanish. We mispronounced "3 half-pints" and he thought we were drunk. If we were drunk, we wouldn't have the patience to write this review at 3 a.m. The manager was racist. We always recommend this place as a guide, but never again. They claim to be inclusive, but they're anything but.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. We were treated with complete disrespect from the moment things didn’t go perfectly. One member of our group was suddenly told to leave for being “too drunk”, with no real attempt to handle the situation calmly or professionally. It felt abrupt and unnecessary. What made it worse was the attitude from staff—dismissive, impatient and borderline rude, especially towards those of us who are not native English speakers. Instead of trying to communicate or de-escalate, they chose the easiest option: kicking us out. The whole situation was handled poorly and left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Definitely not a place I would recommend

Could use a wash and a refurb. Very expensive glass of wine too, served in a very cheap glass. Quite smelly. I love The Street but it's sad to see no money is invested in its upkeep.
