The Bongo Cafe

We're open throughout the year Monday to Friday from 1pm till 7pm.  Throughout the Fringe Festival, we're also open on Saturdays and Sundays

The cafe's cosy and intimate space provides free internet and wi-fi access, mellow tunes, and an ever changing exhibition programme 

A modest selection of hot food [paninis and soup] will keep you going and of course we are fully licensed to sell beer, wine and spirits.  We sell exclusively Fair Trade coffee, tea and sugar and have a great range of herbal teas

Four-legged friendly,  we welcome well-behaved dogs and their responsible owners

The Bongo Club cafe has run in tandem with the club's activities for many years.   It serves as an informal, first point of contact between the general public and the arts events and organisations that use and run the space.  It's situation compliments any daytime use of the main hall, providing refreshments and a change of space [or a drink afterwards]

In the late evenings the cafe transforms into 'the upstairs bar' and chillout backroom during busy live gigs and club nights.
