About this place Paradise Palms

Paradise Palms on Lothian Street is Edinburgh's much-loved queer-friendly oddball — a tropical-themed bar, diner, record store and label rolled into one, famous for its award-winning vegetarian and vegan food and a packed calendar of club nights, live music, bingo, poetry and general mischief. It flies the flag proudly for the LGBTQIA+ community and pulls a young, arty, welcoming crowd; the kind of place you drop into for lunch and somehow are still there at last orders.

Gay-friendly (straight venue) Live music Food served Mixed ethnicities Young crowd (under 30) Dance Local favorite DJ sets Drag Bingo Themed parties

Awful food. We went there 3 of us yesterday and we all didn’t enjoy it. The food was so awful that we had to have ice cream after to kill the taste. The staff was lovely though and I previously had nice cocktails there.
