This Instagrammable spot is one of the most fun destinations in the city, promising 27 different retro arcade machines and old-school consoles. Nab tokens for games like Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, PacMan and more, or use the consoles as much as you want for free. You can tuck into tasty food from Pizza Geeks while you're here, alongside themed cocktails such as the Power Star Martini.

Flight Club Edinburgh

A great way to celebrate your big day with friends is by playing a few games on the interactive dartboards at Flight Club Edinburgh. This Insta-worthy bar serves fun quirky cocktails, as well as brunch socials every weekend if you fancy partying with bottomless pizza. 

Angels Share

Lunch Offer

Angels Share is a contemporary boutique hotel that boasts opulent interiors and a downstairs private bar called Devil's Cut that's perfect for birthday parties. It features its own glamourous dancefloor and a sneaky side entrance to its exposed brick and chandeliers-laced setting. Stylish and sophisticated, this haunt offers you the choice to enjoy either a sit-down meal, buffet or just drinks: whatever your party needs, Angels Share can cater to them for up to 150 guests. 

Shanghai Club at Le Monde

Shanghai Club at Le Monde doesn't lack party experience, as for over ten years, it's been hosting some of the most fabulous birthday extravaganzas in the city. Well-known in the Edinburgh nightlife scene, the neon-lit club is located within the heart of the city centre. It sports a Moet NIR, VIP and extensive mini bar, as well as a wide range of table packages to suit your needs. You can even go that one step further and hire out the entire venue.

Loudons Fountainbridge

Situated in Edinburgh, Loudons Fountainbridge is a great place for a birthday brunch. Enjoy tucking into the likes of Scottish smoked salmon, Korean beef brisket on a toasted muffin and much more, alongside a killer selection of cocktails. We recommend one of their bloody marys.
