Opening Hours

Third Eye Bar is dog friendly.

Due to the architecture of our building and our partial closure, Third Eye Bar is currently not accessible to those who require step-free access. The entrance is up several stairs via Scott Street, which is on a steep gradient. The lift is unavailable while CCA is partially closed. Third Eye Bar has accessible toilets.

We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience and ask for your patience and understanding whilst we explore ways to improve physical access when CCA reopens.

Third Eye Bar

In April 2024, we unveiled our new Terrace Bar, Third Eye.

The bar was a collaborative effort between our team — a space that blends our heritage (paying homage to our roots as the Third Eye Centre) with a modern twist. You can read more about the Bar's opening here.

Crucially, running the bar ourselves means that we remain a not-for-profit organisation. The earnings from the bar will directly support the development of our creative programme and the upkeep of our building. This underscores our belief in community support and sustainable growth, and we want to contribute positively to the cultural landscape and regeneration of the area.

We have also taken control of ethical procurement, proudly partnering with local businesses like Tatenda Wines, Thomson Coffee, Green City Wholefoods, and Tennent Caledonian Breweries (yes, we have Tennents on tap!). Our decor celebrates local craftsmanship, thanks to Gelatin Print and Lacuna Frames, who have brought artefacts from our archive to vibrant new life.

The new bar also features a site-specific work by local legend Fraser Taylor, who has transformed the back room of the bar into an immersive installation, a large-scale painting that truly embraces the space and forges it a new identity.
