WELCOME TO COLD TOWN HOUSE
Why settle for anything less than absolute devotion to pizza, prosecco and craft beer? Our Rooftop Terrace is now open once again!
Cold Town House was born out of a desire to restore brewing traditions in the Grassmarket with an offering that is as varied and innovative as current trends inspire, without all the pomp and hipster lingo. So, welcome to the new home of Cold Town Beer, a beer that defies pretentious pre-conceptions, embraces all the definitions of craft, a serious beer for laid-back people.
We have now reopened our Rooftop Terrace for booking. Fire through the button below to make a booking. If your desired time and date isn’t available then unfortunately we are fully booked.

FIRST FLOOR
Take a peek behind the scenes in our Pizza and Prosecco bar, where you can watch artisan Neapolitan pizzas come together, before being stone fired in our custom built oven. Floor to ceiling windows give you a front row seat to the Cold Town Beer brewing process and all of its sights, sounds and scents as you watch our master brewers honing their craft.
Open 7 days a week from 12pm.
ON THE TOP
You won’t find snow (often) but you will find the spirit of Après ski and the best view of Edinburgh Castle to be found off the esplanade. Grab a fluffy blanket, a Gondola seat, and order your drams from a vintage Nissan van to take in the stunning views. Our rooftop is the jewel in our crown and a must-visit spot on the Grassmarket. We strongly recommend reserving a space on the rooftop.
Open Sun-Thu 12pm-8pm, Fri-Sat 12pm-10pm.

ABOUT COLD TOWN BEER
Cold Town was born with Scottish history at its heart and is named in honour of the Calton Hill Brewery in Edinburgh, which was the first in Britain to brew lager, in 1835. This was situated in the Edinburgh suburb, Caldtoun, at the bottom of a large hill. 183 years later, we now know that place as Calton Hill and we know our beer as Cold Town beer!
