Sneaky Pete's

Sneaky Pete's is a small but mighty 100-capacity venue on Edinburgh's Cowgate, just a few doors from the Bongo Club and a short walk from the Pink Triangle.

While not a dedicated gay venue, Sneaky Pete's has a long-standing reputation as one of Edinburgh's most welcoming, open-minded nightlife spots, regularly hosting queer-friendly club nights and championing LGBTQ+ artists across its live music programme.

Open and busy every night of the week, the venue runs an eclectic mix of live gigs, DJ sets and club nights spanning indie, electronic, alt-pop, post-punk and underground dance. It's the kind of place where you can catch a rising queer artist on a Tuesday and dance until close on a Friday, all in a refreshingly unpretentious basement room.

The intimate scale, friendly door and genuinely diverse crowd make Sneaky Pete's a popular alternative to the Pink Triangle for those who want their nightlife with a side of substance.
