Original Dating

First dates can be a bit awkward sometimes, can't they? So break the ice by heading to one of Original Dating's singles' events. They offer brilliantly fun evenings where you can mingle with new people for four minutes at a time, as well as sip delicious cocktails.

SpeedDater

SpeedDater is your ultimate wingman, helping you meet like-minded folk in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Taking place at bars across the capital, they set you up on eight to 12 mini-dates where you can learn more about other singletons.

SCOTSMAN HOTEL & GRAND CAFÉ

With authentic interiors that date back to 1905, Scotsman Hotel & Grand Cafe is an opulent haven for relaxed drinking and dining. Even better, it's a hubbub of fantastic entertainment, including live music and cinema screenings, not to mention fun afternoon teas.

YO!

Discounts available on certain events

Over at YO! on Princes Street, they're holding exciting Japanese cooking classes. What to expect? A fun, interactive experience where you'll get to make four delicious types of sushi, from sashimi and nigiri to maki and hand rolls. Plus, you'll enjoy drinks and nibbles while you do so.
