Kick Ass Bar is a public bar and cafe at the Cowgate base of Kick Ass Hostels in Edinburgh Old Town. The informal space is designed for travellers and locals to meet, eat and relax, with an indoor bar, games and a programme of social events throughout the week.

The food is firmly in the hearty bar meal tradition. Burgers include beef, chicken and vegetarian choices, while battered haddock with chips and jacket potatoes provide familiar alternatives. Nachos, wings, tenders and dirty fries make easy sharing food for a group.

Smaller bites include mozzarella sticks, onion rings, haggis pakora and several styles of fries. Cauliflower wings and vegetarian dishes widen the choice, while churros or ice cream offer a straightforward sweet finish after a main meal or snacks.

Beer, wine, cocktails, shots, soft drinks and hot drinks cover both daytime cafe visits and livelier evenings. Pub quizzes, karaoke, live music and other daily activities shape the sociable atmosphere, and customers can walk in or reserve a table when planning a visit.

Address: 37-39 Cowgate, Edinburgh EH1 1JR, Scotland
