Bannermans

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh's vibrant Grassmarket, Bannermans isn't just a pub with a back room; it's a beating heart of the city's independent music scene. For decades, this iconic Grassroots Music Venue (GMV) has been a crucible for emerging talent and a steadfast sanctuary for established local heroes. With its intimate atmosphere, unpretentious charm, and an unwavering commitment to live performance, Bannermans offers a raw, visceral experience that stands in stark contrast to the polished, corporate entertainment often found elsewhere. It's a place where the music is always front and centre, where the energy of the crowd is palpable, and where every gig feels like a shared secret, a moment etched into the living history of Edinburgh's cultural landscape.
