The Traverse
Modern theatre with good cafe-bar (l,d; £)
The Traverse is a pretty intimate theatre that generally hosts more experimental work. Over the years this has made it a helpful launchpad for up-and-coming Scottish playwrights.
Food
There's also a good little basement cafe-bar here, with a nice arty buzz about it – worth a stop even if you're not theatre-bound. It has some good burgers on the menu (£10) and is open late.
10 Cambridge Street, EH1 2ED
Cafe Mon–Thu 11am–11pm, Fri/Sat 11am–1pm. (Food: Mon–Fri 8am–3pm. Bar: Mon–Sat noon–8pm.)
