Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh

The first floor part of the Café Royal is a separate Bar, Restaurant, Live Music Venue and Cabaret Club. The bar looks very different from the photo on the front of Scotland’s True Heritage Pubs as the ceiling is now painted black and picked out in gold; the floor is of standard wood panels; new tiles near the bar counter; the original bar has a new front and new top; and there are seating areas down the window side of the room. In the second bar all the partitions and the 1920s bar fittings have been retained; floor in American Bar has had the same treatment as the main bar; seating areas have been added to the restaurant section. The Ballroom can have an admission charge – it retains its wood block floor; the ceiling is now painted black and picked out in gold; and a sound booth has been added. Open from 12 noon to 12 midnight. No real ale.
