Dragonfly Cocktail Bar was re-established in 2018 as a revival of the original spirit of the Edinburgh cocktail scene; a laid-back environment where visitors can explore a carefully considered drinks list.
It is also an established Fringe venue in the heat of town, located just off of the end of the Grassmarket with easy access to all venues on Cowgate and the Royal Mile.
It is a new venue for The Free Festival in 2022, after being a venue for 'Hero's of Fringe' for several years. It's well known as a good room for audiences attracting a discerning clientele.
