Sandy Bell's is one of the great folk music venues in Edinburgh, known by musicians and lovers of traditional music worldwide. Local musicians have been keeping the spirit of traditional music alive here for over half a century. People come from all over Scotland, Ireland, the rest of the United Kingdom, and just about anywhere -- as musicians or just to participate in a great night out. You can read more about the story of music at the Sandy Bell's on the history page. Traditional music sessions go on every night -- and sometimes in the daytime too. Visit the sessions page for a day-by-day guide.
In recent years we've expanded our range of drinks to include an impressive range of whiskies (see below). Our recent refurbishment includes an enlarged musicians' area and new facilities. Click here for directions.
