The
City Cafe is not only a popular performance space, but a popular
cafe/bar for Fringe performers because of it's proximity to the Royal
Mile and it's inexpensive food and drink. In it's new incarnation as a
family friendly diner upstairs, and venue downstairs since it's
refurbishment, it has proved even more popular.
The venue is ideal for all types of performance needing a small space,
downstairs is a small bar,
and three small sound-proofed and air conditioned performance spaces.
Given the sizes of the rooms, the rooms are typically suited to solo
stand-up, theatre, comedy and music shows.
All of the rooms are decorated in the style their name suggests, are
sound proof and air-conditioned.
