A full-service bar, cocktail specials, & DJs with graffiti murals inspired by NYC subways.
Subway Cowgate is Edinburgh’s newest club space. Nestled in the middle of Edinburgh’s historic Cowgate the club is situated under the arches of George IV Bridge. Playing host to a mixture of local and not so local talent the club has been designed for maximum fun.
Playing on the NY Subway theme there are amazing graffiti murals that trick the eye, couple in the bespoke sound and light set up and it’s a proper party venue.

Whilst trying to get into the club, my friends and I joined the queue for entry, but were promptly denied without reason. When confronted, we were told ‘we don’t need a reason to deny you,’ but given that my friends and I are all brown, it’s racism. The people in front of us and behind us? All white. We were the only non-white people attempting entrance into this alleged ‘club.’ I do not recommend it - what’s the point? They didn’t ask for identification nor did they ask if we had drunk before. All bounces refused to make eye contact even. If you are BROWN, DO NOT COME HERE. THIS IS A RACIST CLUB.
Such rude bouncers. Turned away last night at 10:45pm, not drunk, because we were a group of 5 people which apparently isn’t allowed? Bouncer was extremely rude about it as well. Not the first time I’ve had issues with them.
Paying a visit to subway really ruined the experience. I came up from Manchester. Racist bouncers who refused me entry for no reason. Was told to just try somewhere else. This can be dangerous for someone wanting to enjoy a night out( I hope the bouncers and their families experience the same thing I experienced when they are in a unfamiliar city). Can clearly see the bouncers were not brought up well by their parents.
The bouncers need to be fired as they genuinely bring down what is a fairly decent club otherwise. The interior is nice if not a bit small but you'll be left with a bitter taste after dealing with the security at the door. They are almost always rude and clearly love abusing their power. It really makes the whole experience and environment feel especially toxic and gross. If you need proof look at all the other reviews complaining about them
Fun place. Most staffs are nice and I feel safety in here. I always like many flavors of VK. However, just one thing, tequila without salt and lime was bad moment.
