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.
