Before you book: affiliation, age, ID and refundsHow listings work

whatnightout brings together public listings; it does not make an event university-affiliated. Words such as “official” come from the organiser unless the source itself is a university or students' union. Check the ticket source, refund terms, age limit and student-ID rules before paying.

Techno and house nights run regularly in the Cowgate, with Sneaky Pete's, Cabaret Voltaire, and the Bongo Club programming weekly events.
