About Boozy Cow
The Spotlight on Boozy Cow

Burgers, Beers, and Beats Just Steps from the Action

Boozy Cow is a bold, no-frills burger joint in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, just a short walk from top live music venues and theatres. With its edgy, graffiti-style decor, loud music, and a menu packed with indulgent burgers, wings, and loaded fries, this place is all about messy, meaty fun. It’s casual, fast-paced, and unapologetically cool—perfect for grabbing a bite before the show or winding down after one.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes from popular venues like the Usher Hall and Edinburgh Playhouse, Boozy Cow delivers quick service and big flavors without the fuss. The loud, high-energy vibe means you’re already in the mood for a gig before you even leave the table. And with no reservations needed, it’s a solid bet for a spontaneous pre-show feast. If you're tight on time, the efficient kitchen and walk-in setup mean you won’t be waiting long.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a casual, rowdy bite before the show
  • Solo travelers grabbing a quick burger before a gig
  • Couples who want fun over fancy
  • Fans wanting a loud, energetic pre-show space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want big flavor

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the juicy burgers, loaded fries, and playful menu that includes milkshakes with a boozy twist. The vibe is described as “loud,” “grungy,” and “fun,” with many noting it’s the perfect spot to get hyped for a night out. Staff are praised for being friendly and quick, and the portions are generous—some even call it the best burger in the city.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the place for a quiet conversation. If you’re after a calm, candlelit dinner, Boozy Cow’s loud music and dark interiors might be a bit much. It’s also walk-in only, so be prepared for a short wait during peak hours. But for most concert-goers, that’s part of the fun.

The Bottom Line

Boozy Cow is a loud, laid-back burger joint with killer food and fast service—ideal for fueling up before the music starts.
