WHERE

Edinburgh

What it’s like

A late-opening bar that starts at 4pm, so this one's really not a kids' day out.

This is a bar, not a library despite the name, and it opens at 4pm on weekdays and Saturdays, midnight closing, shut all day Sunday. There's nothing in what they publish about children being part of the picture here, no ages given, no family facilities listed, nothing about food for little ones or anything to actually do with kids in tow.

Given the hours alone, this isn't somewhere you'd plan a family afternoon around. A 4pm start rules out anything before teatime, and a venue built around evening drinking hours doesn't usually stretch to pushchair space or a kids' menu, not that either is mentioned either way.

Worth being upfront: this looks like it's been listed as a place, but the facts point squarely at an adult evening spot rather than a family outing. If you're after somewhere to take the kids in Edinburgh, this probably isn't it.

Is it suitable for children?

There's nothing to suggest this is set up with kids in mind, and the opening times alone make it an evening venue rather than a daytime family spot.
