Is there food and drink available? (Edinburgh Festival Theatre)

Make the most of your visit with something tasty to eat or drink. From relaxed coffees to pre-show tipples or even an interval ice cream, our bars and Festival Theatre Café are open before the show and during the interval.

Our Cafe

Whether you are looking for a healthy lunch or a guilty pleasure; a quick fizzy drink or a long relaxing cuppa; a place to enjoy the sunshine or watch the rain fall, the Festival Theatre Cafe is the place to be.

Enjoy a rotating selection of soups, sandwiches and sweet treats whatever the weather.

Our bars

Whether you’re after a pre-show drink, an interval top-up or something to toast the night, our bars have you covered.

Enjoy locally crafted gin, beer, chilled champagne, fresh coffee or tea, and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages — all just steps from your seat.

The Secret Garden Bar

Tucked just above the foyer on Level F1, this bar is perfect for guests seated on Levels 1 or 2. It features the full range from Edinburgh’s own Secret Garden Distillery — from classic London Dry to unique botanical blends like Rose and Elderflower & Jasmine.

The Champagne Bar

Also on Level F1 you’ll find the elegant Champagne Bar, offering a selection from our partner Champagne Piaff. A perfect pre-show treat for those seated on the lower levels.

Stewart Brewing Bar

Located on Level F2, this bar is ideal for guests on Level 3 and above. Enjoy a brilliant range of craft beers from Edinburgh’s Stewart Brewing — available here and at all three bars throughout the theatre. Pick up a can, soak in the views of Arthur’s Seat and skip the interval queues.
