As a gay turist in edingburg for the first I visited CC Blooms and was suprised that a so lovley town whith such a lot a nice gaybars a place like cc blooms can exist.
the place was run down, the staf was rude and unfriendly.
and the door man was almoust agressive!!!
It felt like nobody from had a profesional attetude about the work they in the place!
Not even the dj could impress me, bad 80ies hits badley mixed together.
And beware of the toilets…. not a fresh and clean place, smels like urine!!!
The place was moustly visited by verry drunk lesbians, that was screeming to eachother and had a hard time walking straight, so hold on to your drink… or you will have all over your shirt!!!
NOT a place I will recommended you to go to if you visit edingburg.

ok its true the times i’ve been here have usually been preceeded by a few drinks….but i must say the mirrors everywhere put me in a bad mood….not because i looked a state but because it lends a rather alice in wonderland weirdness to an already strange arrangment of space. more than once i almost walked into a wall, a couple of times i waved at friends on the other dancefloor, when they were in fact behind me(!) and the cloakroom was full so several of our party had to haul our coats, scarves, and bags around with us. maybe if you get there early, don’t have much to drink and leave before it gets too crowded its a better experience….but i doubt it…

This long standing Gay bar cum nightclub boasts two bars on two floors at the top of Leith walk, a few doors down from the Playhouse Theatre.
Can be very busy at weekends when the crowds come out of the other local bars, it can be busy during the week also but not packed.
There are regular Karaoke evenings and other events and promotions.
The clientele is as mixed as the music.
They do not sell food!!

CC Blooms is the centrepiece of the cluster of gay-friendly pubs and clubs at the top of Leith Walk. Its simply the best of the bunch when it comes to pulsating, pheromone-drenched late night fun.

If you manage to get in (I tried three times before the brusque and baldy bouncer finally believed that I wasn’t off my rocker on something or other), find a quiet spot to dump your stuff and hit the dance floor.

Not always an obvious choice but if you ever get the chance to experience a night out in “Gay Town” then grab it with both hands and get yourself down to CC Blooms!

Perfect if your guilty pleasures include bad dancing, getting drunk, euro pop and being completely fabulous! Regardless of your sexuality, CC’s is a top night out.

The top bar is a casual affair with seats and a long bar that gives way to mini dancefloor. Venture downstairs and you are in for a treat! A big dancefloor with mirrored walls make it the only time its okay to grind yourself between 2 men and not be deemed a slut.

Expect average priced drinks with an emphasis on Smirnoff Ices and Midori. Perhaps a little daunting to those unfamiliar with the whole gay scene as it’s not uncommon to see ladies participating in foreplay with each other at the bar or even worse, in the loo’s. But if your pretty unshockable and think we’re all just people then you’ll have a riot.

Just watch out for the tokenistic straight guy enjoying the lesbian action a bit too much!
