Planet is a gay bar at 6 Baxter's Place, at the top of Leith Walk near Picardy Place. This corner of the New Town and Broughton holds most of Edinburgh's gay bars, so it is easy to visit several on foot. It rates 4.1 from about 240 reviews. There are no hours on file. Check planetbaredinburgh.co.uk for opening times and any regular nights before going. It is a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley station and the St Andrew Square tram stop.

Staff are ultra friendly, professional, and inclusive. Definitely would recommend even on a weekday. Kudos Dave, Kyle, and Lola Fierce. Had a splendid time.
