About this place CC Blooms

CC Blooms is one of Edinburgh's longest-running gay venues. It's a dedicated LGBTQ+ bar and club on Calton Square at the top of Leith Walk, next to the Playhouse theatre and the cluster of gay bars around Broughton Street. The ground floor is a bar with karaoke and drag nights, and the basement is a late-night dance floor with chart and pop music. It stays open late, so people tend to arrive after the other bars nearby close. Reviews are mixed (3.8 from about 1,400 on Google): cheap drinks and a fun, messy crowd, but complaints about door staff and cleanliness come up too. Check the website for current hours, since none are listed here.
