The Banshee Labyrinth Pub/Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

I spent incredible nights there.

Such a cool and unique bar/ hangout spot. Each floor, hall, and room has its own spooky vibe, decor, and music. There's a ton of seating and space for all group sizes.

Don't miss this unique pub, which boasts different rooms for different atmospheres. In addition to having a drink, you can watch a live concert or even a movie in its "Very, Very Curious" room.

A peculiar place with many rooms in different places within the same house and live music in one of the rooms, in others a pool table or areas to relax with a drink

What a unique place! Loved the multiple rooms concept, and the decor was awesome. We stayed here for a couple of drinks and danced to some of our requested songs! Really liked this place a lot and was a nice way to end the night!

Picturesque where there ever was one Recommended

Spectacular live music. Great atmosphere

Awesome time. Rory was the greatest bar tender ever.

Original place for a drink, there are few rooms a bit evrywhere in the building, like a pool, few bars, a cinema, some are in the vaults, and you can all visit them with your drink ! Also very nice staff ~

Great place to have a drink and watch horror movie

A wonderful & unique experience! As a film lover, a must-visit!

What a great place, so many different levels, bars and different cool sitting erias, pool table, different events, I was there on Tue night for karaoke, or watch a movie. Really cool place!

What an awesome bar! We loved this place as it combines different experiences. We really enjoyed the ghost stand up. Interesting drinks, great atmosphere and awesome music.

Came back after 5 years, and it's still exactly the same as I remembered it. Gothic theming, helpful staff, loads of rooms to discover and great entertainment. Honestly my favourite bar in Edinburgh

Assaulted by member of staff. Generally the staff are nice, but a long darked haired member of staff was running around shouting at people, smashed his crate into my friend and started shoving me to get me to move (i was only trying to leave the bar area). I was in front of him later in the night and asked him if i was in his way and he freaked out and started power tripping, the hypocrite told security i was shouting at him before (literally only asked him where to and told him i wanted to go in the direction he was blocking). All on camera with witnesses, seems even the security believed me saying maybe he was a bit stressed from "earlier" so maybe he's had problems before. Would avoid until he's gone.

Unique setting. Great beer and atmosphere.

Never seen a spot like this. Extremely interesting.

Best place anywhere. Good sound if there is a show happening.

Some good live bands, but not much publicity for them.

Fantastic for metal lovers. Kept coming back 3 nights in a row. The place is spooky, surprising and fun, and ALL bands were great.

Such a unique interior and atmosphere. I will make an effort to visit here everytime I'm in Edinburgh. The cinema room was so relaxed, I've never experienced a bar with that kind of room. Each room serves something different, would highly recommend. Bar staff were friendly too.

One of the best haunts in Edinburgh and even has a cinema in it. Great friendly staff. Brilliant atmosphere and music. Must go!

Live music or cinema, you can find everything while roaming through this maze. Good luck finding the way out after a couple of pints.

Dear god what a find….. I cannot stop talking about this bar, sadly I totally forgot to video and take pictures (by the time I realised I should I had celebrated a little much. If you get my meaning) Check their website. Ghost stories - molly, a crappy loo guy and more…. I hate large pubs and venues. I find the noise really hard. This bar is split into small rooms - yup a labyrinth type cellar! Cinema room, pool room just extremely well done If you visit one bar, go here. The bar staff were so friendly and fun. Ended up staying until 3am, not something I would ever normally do. Best bar In Edinburgh for me !

Best place to see clown or more avant garde comedy shows during Edinburgh Fringe Fest!.

Class! Nice staff, great ambience and great live music! Great price!

Magnificently twisty and spooky, it even includes a small cinema!

Incredible atmosphere. Perfect for Fans of Horror. Highlights are decoration, the cinema and the karaoke area.

Easily has one of the best aesthetics I've seen of a pub, the regulars and staff are all lovely, and I can't recommend this place enough.

One of the oldest pubs with an underground vault vibe, superb crowd . A must visit

Such a cool vibe here. It honestly is a labyrinth, it's genuinely a maze inside. But lots of cool little corners to tuck yourself away in and some great live performance spaces to check out.

I was at Banshee Labyrinth for Perry Frank's live performance, and it was an unforgettable experience. The venue’s underground vibe and great acoustics created an intimate atmosphere, perfect for his set.

It's the kind of bar where I feel good. There are many rooms with different atmospheres as well as a concert hall and a small cinema. Drinks are reasonably priced

Fantastic place, lovely drinks, hidden surprises round every corner. Free cinema. What's not to like.

Aggressive bouncers. Bar staff are very rude and make fun of people who don't sound like them. Pool table area is nice though. Avoid and go elsewhere

Super recommended bar. Incredible decoration, it looks like a real labyrinth with a horror atmosphere, rooms that emulate dungeons, coffin-shaped tables, and even a cinema in one of the rooms where they show scary movies. One of the best bars I have found. The approximate price of a pint is 6 pounds.

great bar, very quirky there is a few rooms to explore and there is also a cinema. It is a very welcoming bar highly recommend popping in for a pint

Fantastic place, amazing variety of rooms, bar staff were really nice, the cinema is super chill. Unfortunately the power mad bouncer put a dampener on our experience, acted really strange on our leaving.

A lovely quirky pub. Made to feel very welcome.

Beer plus a free movie. What's not to like?

WORST BAR IN EDINBURGH! EXTREMELY RUDE SECURITY! IT SEMEED LIKE IT WAS AN ACT OF XENOFOBIA! I visited the Labyrinth bar on January 25th and 26th. On the 25th, the security guard was extremely rude and harsh and didn’t let us in because we didn’t have physical IDs. We are foreigners, tourists, and don’t carry our passports everywhere due to the risks involved. We asked if a photo of the ID would work (as all other bars accepted it), but he refused. Fine! We returned the next day with our physical IDs, and he still didn’t let us in because we were wearing sneakers – even though there were many people inside the bar wearing sneakers! He was extremely rude! Don’t go to this bar; what was supposed to be a peaceful night out turned into a stressful experience! I don’t recommend it to anyone!

Unfortunately, my experience with the security at the entrance was disappointing. The behavior of the security staff seemed hostile and discriminatory, not only towards people from other backgrounds but even towards Europeans. He made a comment about my Air Force sneakers, stating there was a minimum dress code required, but once inside, we noticed others wearing the same sneakers had no issues. Additionally, there were uncomfortable moments with inappropriate jokes and a sarcastic attitude during the interaction. If you're looking for a more welcoming atmosphere, I would suggest considering nearby pubs instead.

10/10 on the spookiness scale! My friend and I watched a movie there and it was a very nice atmosphere and super cheap tickets. Also, the staff were super friendly!

This bar is just great, the decorations are crazy and there are lots of little nooks and crannies to sit down and have a drink.

Creepy. Amazing. Should be busier!

What a place! Banshee is a bit spooky, a bit mysterious, and an overall fun experience! If you want to drink somewhere with character, get yourself in here.

I confirm its name "labyrinth" Very nice decor and good atmosphere.

A very well decorated place, with very friendly waiters and original events.

One of the best pubs in town. Definitely worth a visit

Great venue for concerts, fun decor/drinks and great music if you're into that scene. They also had a Christmas market and arts and crafts fun day out

Such a good rock venue. I love that it has a cinema that's open late at night Loads of space for gigs downstairs. I particularly like when karaoke is on downstairs. Has pool tables as well. Plenty of seating even when it's busy. Supposed to be haunted but luckily I've never experienced anything creepy.

Good Kate night venue organising many events.

Great pub in Edinburgh! The interior is themed and tastefully done, so it perfectly recreates the spooky atmosphere of the town. Good variety of beer but still leaves a lot to be desired. I definitely recommend a visit to Banshee's Labyrinth!

Service wasn’t the most friendly, and my drinks were wrong. Really cool place itself though, fun to explore!

Cool place. Not a good first experience though, one of the bartenders were really rude and basically told us to leave when we tried to order drinks.

My friend showed me this interesting bar, and although I usually don’t drink much, I ordered at least a bottle of cider. I couldn’t finish even a half of it still, but it was in a bottle so I just was on my way outside the bar. The security guard forcefully pulled the bottle out of my hand and only then said it wasn’t allowed to take it outside the bar. I have two things to note: 1. Please explain your security guards that it’s polite to talk a bit nicely to visitors and first do the talking, and then accept the bottle. I don’t want anyone to approach me forcefully, I could just leave it myself. 2. This is an outrageous policy per se. I paid for the bottle, and I see no reason why I can’t take it away, it’s not in a glass that belongs to the bar or anything like that. If it has anything to do with me having an open bottle on the street, that is my responsibility, and maybe I would jump right into a taxi. And normally, a good place would offer to seal the bottle so that it could be taken outside without causing any legal problems.

Great venue, watching ,A murder of crows and the Voodoo Twins 🎸🥁🎹🎤🍺😀

Very cool bar. Spoke to the bar man. Told me some haunting stories of the bar.

Atypical bar which is clearly worth the detour

As (foreign) metalheads, we were not very welcome in this horror costume bar. In 1 room we were not allowed to talk, 2 rooms were closed, in 1 there was a horror performance and in the only rock part we were even clearly in the way. Not a rock bar this, but a costume party for....horror goths or something?

Great experience. Loved all the different rooms and bars!

The party ist Here! Amazing bar

Great ambience, good music and nice vibes. Service is sadly inconsistent - some staff are lovely, but I’ve now had several experiences where the barman and door staff were rude and unfriendly to me, and I have no idea why

Very cool venue with fantastic performances and events. Well worth a visit regardless of what's on, the staff are helpful and friendly and there's a range of different areas to explore.

Favorite pub / cinema / event space in the city. Enjoyed every night i went here!

The Banshee’s Labyrinth is truly a fantastic spot for a night out in Edinburgh! From the moment you step inside, you’re in for a unique experience. Despite the unassuming entrance, the place is massive inside, sprawling across several rooms with multiple bars, each offering its own vibe and atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to sit back and enjoy a well-crafted cocktail or dive into the lively energy of the main bar areas, there’s something here for everyone. The drinks menu is fantastic, offering a wide selection to satisfy any taste. From classic cocktails to craft beers and unique spirits, the bartenders know how to pour a great drink. The staff is friendly and quick, keeping the energy high and ensuring that everyone has a good time. One of the things that makes the Banshee’s Labyrinth so memorable is its labyrinthine layout – as you explore, you find yourself in different rooms and hidden spaces that make it feel like an adventure. The unique decor, with a hint of gothic charm, adds to the experience, making you feel like you’re in a truly one-of-a-kind venue. In a city filled with vibrant nightlife, the Banshee’s Labyrinth stands out as one of the best places to be. If you’re in Edinburgh and looking for a fun, unforgettable night out, this is a must-visit spot.

Banshee is an awesome bar, loads of little nooks and crannies to discover, cool music (if you're into heavy metal and rock, which I am) great service from the bartenders and the beer is really well priced, probably the cheapest I've had in Edinburgh. I like that it really feels like a haunted pub. Definitely worth going to and will be back again for sure!

Excellent decor. Look forward to exploring it further

Great venue, bar is a bit small but that's the only negative. Great staff, usually a friendly crowd. Went in on a Thursday recently and got treated to some live death metal unexpectedly. Excellent place.

Place with great potential but poorly managed. Still worth stopping by for a beer!

Lovely spot, hidden gem in Edinburgh!

Always love playing Banshees. Total destruction! They treat my band good and will do yours

Great drinks, friendly staff, toilets could be cleaner and they definitely need a stronger flush

Places like this can't exist in the U.S. 10/10

2 amazing gin tonics (edinburgh gin) for 10£, and the atmosphere is like nothing else. Absolutely stunning place, you really get to have a unique experience entering this place. Plus everyone is so chill and cool!

"Wtf is this place? Where am i?" That was me the whole time. There a lot of different "chambers" or "dungeons" with different vibes, there was even a cinema inside the pub. Really weird but also really cool, it was fun to visit. Definitely a must if you are visiting Edinburgh

Super recommended site, different and with history.

Very very good pub and special, located in the underground Edinburgh is really worth going and see it

Love the mysterious vibe here. Definitely must go for a pint or to see bands!

Cool bar. 7 rooms. Free cinema. Live music. Good beer. Dark and mystical

Wanted to like it more. Another night, I probably would.

Too many good memories in this place - always a great place to be.

Cocktails are brilliant, love the vibe in the most haunted pub in Scotland!!

A filthy bar, where the waiters/bartender are rude, almost no HACCP rules are respected, the waitress/bartender dips the coke dispenser in the glass? You have to take into account that it is a job and that you have to wash your hands between two different actions. Which of course they don't do. I still can't understand how it is possible to refuse access to this very low quality bar, or even at all, to people wearing jogging pants? Your bar smells of mold, the toilets and staff are dirty, and yet you manage to laugh in the faces of polite and respectful customers who face you only because they have jogging pants? Lamentable. Go to a bar where respect and kindness are advocated, anything but that one.

They created a 'token' system to see shows but did not tell anyone. Missed shows that we travelled to see due to this.

Lovely staff, unique building. Had quite the nicest door supervisor - respectful, helpful, efficient - on one Friday night I have ever encountered.

interesting decor, we wanted to glue something to the ceiling ourselves.

The best beers in an extraordinary meeting place.

And if you like stories or maybe this is reality 😉😊😊great!!

Funky and fun atmosphere though a bit dank. Cool movies and other events weekly. The bathroom had a leaky sewage pipe which was disgusting.

This place was my absolute favourite in Edinburgh, very cool, very gothic, the staff and the bouncers very actually the nicest people ive met here in Edinburgh. The cinema was amazing (very unusual and original)

This gothic bar is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is incredibly cool, with dark and moody decor that really sets the vibe. The staff are super friendly and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The service is top-notch, with quick and attentive bartenders. It's a great spot to enjoy some unique drinks and soak in the ambiance. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fantastic night out!

The atmosphere in the bar is amazing!

Is it a touristy spot? ..yeah probably, I’m a tourist. Is it a little cheesy? Absolutely and in exactly the way you want. Staff is great, this is one of my favorite places to duck out in if there’s a rain shower and I’ve already had dinner.

Had a really fun time as always yesterday attending the horror festival, doctor bonk show! Can’t recommend enough the amazing spooky banshee labyrinth as a venue for a fun nights, festivals and screenings!

Quiet pint after bannermans 530 pm ish Plenty seats / tables

I went there to have a drink with my boyfriend and I unfortunately lost my purse in the bar. There’s no way to contact them, all my Ids were inside my purse along with my money. Today I’m flying back home early so I can’t even go back to ask about it. I am utterly dissapointed that I can’t even call them about it. The service was nice, the drinks were good. (Kinga with the hungarian id)

Fantastic band tonight ‘Violated’ awesome 🤩

I used to love this place, but now the doormen are appalling. I've been refused entry twice for being drunk, when one of those times I'd only had two drinks, so I wasn't even tipsy. Another time, I popped out for a cigarette and wasn't allowed back in, even though my girlfriend was still inside. Both times, I got into many other bars afterwards without any problems. They've completely ruined this place for me, so I won't be back. I used to always recommend this place to people going to Edinburgh, too. Not anymore.

Best bar I've ever been too. The architecture is like an underground gothic maze, the events were amazing, staff were so friendly and interesting people drinking there. So excited to come back here when I return to edinburgh. Also pints are so cheap!
