The Theatre Royal Bar

Theatrical old-time bar with a relaxed atmosphere. Traditional British food, great malt whisky selec Welcome to the Theatre Royal bar.

Set in the Edinburgh’s theatrical heartland, we’ve been serving up food and drinks for decades. Situated on Greenside place, next door to the famous Playhouse theatre, we’re at the heart of the action for pre- and post-theatre drinks, cuisine and socialising. With crystal chandeliers, a dark solid wood central bar, and draped curtains, the Theatre Royal is a spectacular bar and restaurant. Add to

OOOOOOOOFT!!

IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR THE FIRST MATCH OF THE EUROS.

We will be showing ALL the games but make sure to join us for Germany V SCOTLAND on Friday!

Oor' Mannschaft is ready... are you?!

Our live music offerings for June! A slightly later start this month to accommodate the Euros.

Join us for all the matches and stay for the tunes after!

03/06/2024

The live music continues apace at the TRB this month (and note the slight time change).

We've had acts on here in the past, NYE being a particularly busy night.

🎤🎤

Double incentive to come visit on both Friday the 7th and especially the 14th. There may a certain Euro24 starting on the latter night. Scotland are up against the hosts, Germany. But you knew that.

Good afternoon you lovely people. As we fast approach 'proper' summer*, there's a lot happening in the TR.

The big game tomorrow is the major Manchester City/United derby in the shape of the FA Cup Final, KO at 3pm. Half time nachos anyone?

Prior to that, we have, Jason Kyrone, one of our regular musicians on duty at 10pm tonight and after the footy tomorrow at the same time.

*rain may be included

With the Euro's quickly approaching don't miss your chance to win two tickets and spending money!

13/05/2024

Hi peeps, unless you live under a rock (or aren't a football fan), you'll be aware that the kicks off on the 14th June. Pleasingly (or maybe worryingly) the first game in the tournament is Germany vs Scotland, 8pm k.o. We'll likely be showing the game. Loudly. On all four screens.

Plus, it's not too late to win tickets, just visit the TRB and either buy a can or or a glass of Coke Zero and scan the code on the posters that are dotted about the bar to enter. And you don't have to leave after the We serve lots of other things too.



We're hoping to show all the games but it may be worth booking a table for the three initial Scotland fixtures. And all going well with Steve Clarke's lads, hopefully there'll be games 4, 5 and 6. One can dream...

PS. I was at a party last year with a mate and he mentioned to someone that he'd got Euro tickets and she replied "I didn't know you were a Eurovision fan." 😁

Two more ales added to the never ending cycle in the TRB, the brilliantly named Haggis Hunter from and the slightly more prosaically named (but no less lovely) Heavy Modern 80/- from

Also, if you missed the Aurora Borealis last night (a surprising amount of people did), it's due to happen again around 10.30pm tonight (cloud cover permitting, but the weather bods are saying it should be a clear night). It should be viewable from outside the pub looking down Leith Walk. Unfortunately, you can't take drinks outside at that time but the old napkin on the glass trick will your keep your lovely beverage safe from the sink.
