About La Belle Angele
La Belle Angele has one of the most dramatic stories in Edinburgh nightlife. Originally opened in 1994, it was destroyed by the tragic Cowgate fire of 2002 before being painstakingly rebuilt and reopened. The current venue retains the spirit and identity of the original while benefiting from modern sound and production infrastructure. It hosts a mix of club nights and live events across electronic, alternative, and pop genres, and its reputation as a key Edinburgh institution has only grown since its rebirth.
History
La Belle Angele's original incarnation in the 1990s made it one of Edinburgh's defining club spaces. The 2002 Cowgate fire that destroyed it was a devastating moment for the city's nightlife community. Its reopening was celebrated as a restoration of part of Edinburgh's cultural identity.
