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.
EXPLORE THE HOUSE
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. Our rooftop bar opens at 2pm weather permitting (though feel free to take a drink up from another floor beforehand). No outside drinking after 10pm. Please note we do not take reservations for the rooftop.

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!
