Hot Toddy is a new Fringe venue for Free Festival shows, and a recently refurbished and comfortable space used for Whisky tastings during the Fringe, organised by the venue owners.
It located close to the junction of Jeffrey Street and the Royal Mile and St Mary Street, so an ideal location for shows close to the traditional heat of the Fringe.
Nearby is the main event space of the Royal Mile, our venues at Bar 50 and along cowgate as well as venues such as the Space or The Scottish Comedy Festival's Waverley Bar. The venue is also a short walk from Waverley Staton.
