About

Sneaky Pete’s is an intimate venue on Edinburgh’s Cowgate. Now in our second year, we’ve been defying expectations about the standard of production and entertainment possible in a venue less than 100 capacity.

“Of all the resurgent clubs in Edinburgh, the dark and compact box at the base of the Cowgate that is Sneaky Pete’s might well be the most relentlessly exciting” – Dave Pollock, The List

“It’s teeny tiny and very loud…  PCL took hold of the reins a while back and the programming has been going from strength to strength ever since, with schooped up electro pop kids sitting comfortably next to indie guitar bands and the odd bit of dub” - The Skinny

“As Edinburgh’s rising new venue, with a varied host of both promising and established bands, the attendance rate is often high to maximum” – OneThirtyBPM.com

“Imagine your living room, minus the furniture, plus 100 indie misfits” – Nick Mitchell, The Skinny

“It’s an awesome venue. It’s hot, it’s sweaty, it’s a total groovebox. I don’t look at what I do as experimental, but I do have an open-minded policy and Sneaky Pete’s is just the right size to fit an open-minded crowd” - Kris Walker, Wasabi Disco

“Edinburgh’s cosiest venue” - Thomas Meeks, The List
