The best bit about this place is you think you are entering a Barbers shop. Hidden below what looks a Barbers shop you go down stairs and enter through a secret door. The only give away that this is not what it seems, is a doorman standing outside on a Friday and Saturday. Brilliant for cocktails and the place to be seen.

Arts & Culture
The People's Story gives an unique insight in to Edinburgh's working class people from the 18th century to the late 20th century. The displays include tableaux, original objects, images and personal stories to reveal their fascinating history of the city.
The collection focuses on the history, culture, crafts and trades, and the people of Edinburgh but also as a place to explore more contemporary issues, events and opinions.
What makes the museum stand out is that all of the displays are based around the words of Edinburgh’s people, taken from oral history reminiscences and written sources to tell real stories. The collections reflect this with objects ranging from Friendly Society regalia
