About this space
Upstairs at Cabaret Voltaire, the Cabaret Cafe is our laid-back social hub! It is all about charm and character! It’s perfect for drinks and pre-club catch-ups!
Think cosy leather sofas, quirky murals, exposed stone, and booths! For a cocktail, grabbing a table for games, or mingling at the bar, this is the easy-going counterpart to our nightclub downstairs.

About The Cabaret Voltaire
This is Cabaret Voltaire, a local arts and music institution in Edinburgh’s Old Town! We specialise in music: live music, dance music, but most importantly, LOUD music! From legendary club nights to countless gigs and special events, we’ve transformed the historic North Bridge vaults into one of Scotland’s most iconic venues.
The club level delivers a high-energy experience with multiple vaulted rooms, D&B sound system, and tailored lighting. It is ideal for live gigs, DJ nights, and private parties. Upstairs, Cabaret Café offers a more laid-back setting with cosy lounges and regular acoustic performances.
We have 9 hire options for different event sizes. Enjoy club nights, live music, corporate events, and private hires with us! Everything is supported by in-house bars, booth service, and fast-track entry options.
