The Three Sisters

The Three Sisters is a large Cowgate pub, live entertainment venue, and sports bar at 139 Cowgate in Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Its courtyard is one of the best-known outdoor drinking spaces on the street, while the building also contains several indoor areas used for sport, live music, parties, and karaoke.

The venue is particularly busy around major football and rugby fixtures, Festival season, and weekend nights. Big screens and multiple bars make it suited to large groups, while the Live Room hosts regular entertainment and public karaoke. The Three Sisters also runs recurring karaoke nights through the week.
