Almuerzo con amigos. La bienvenida en la planta baja era bueno si un poco de calor! Decepcionante bienvenida cuando salimos del ascensor. Se sentó a la mesa con poca bienvenida y la mesa no estaba preparada para el almuerzo. Uno de los principales fue sustituido, y la selección pobre. Nuestra comida llegó y todavía no hay cubiertos. Un miembro del personal era agradable el otro bastante hosco. ¡Toda la experiencia fue abrumadora y no es barata! El tour es excelente, pero el bar no tiene relación con la calidad que espera de Johnnie Walker. Existe una necesidad desesperada de capacitación del personal y de hacer entender al personal que su cliente es una prioridad y de explicar lo que significa una buena atención al cliente. Aprecio que el comercio de la hospitalidad ha tenido problemas con el personal, pero JW seguramente tiene el dinero para pagar a un buen personal y, si no, al menos a una buena capacitación. No volveremos.

Skybar review 1 year ago today we got married at the sky bar and it has taken me this long to think of the words I want to use to describe our day. The initial planning / communication was mostly great leading up to the day. The day seemed to run smoothly apart from a few minor issues such as the wrong wine on the table, some decorations missing / in the wrong place despite writing down in detail what was to go where and when, the vegetarian meal looked and tasted COMPLETELY different (and much less tasty) than when we had it at our trial but nothing we thought too much into. It wasn’t until the following morning as we were getting ready to leave the hotel and head home that an issue arose, we had planned a lovely relaxing day with our children enjoying our first day as a married couple but that was spoiled when we realised our legal paperwork wasn’t where it was supposed to be, or rather where the staff had told us it was. We searched high and low in the hotel room, and with only us entering the room it should have been there. Upon further investigation from the hotel staff they informed us that cleaning staff had been in our room (when they had no reason to do so) after our legal paper work had been taken up to our room and it was explained to us that they “must have binned it” binned an envelope and bag that was sitting on a chair? No where near a bin? I highly doubt it. Upon further inspection when we got home we also realised our personalised, engraved ring box and our hand fasting ties from our ceremony were missing too! So a member of the cleaning staff had decided it was acceptable to enter our room because and take our belongings, very important ones and sentimental ones too! Our first day as a married couple was so stressful and really put a dampener on our wedding day which should have been one of the best days of our lives. Thankfully our celebrant and the registry office were both so helpful with organising new legal paperwork and having it all signed, but everyone had to go out of their way, rearrange plans etc to get it signed again on time! And what did we get from the hotel? A measly apology and a £500 refund like that was supposed to fix things. Our wedding, like most, cost us an absolute fortune. It should have been a perfect, well organised day, but staff couldn’t even get the smallest of details right. Our food at the end was supposed to be saved for the following day too, but nope the staff who looked like they couldn’t care less, binned it all. We looked past these small issues at the time but when you sit back a think of everything that went wrong on that day it has really upset us. There was also no follow up on how the staff were dealt with and if they had ever gotten to the bottom of where our belongings were. If we could go back and change things we definitely would not have had our wedding at the SKYbar.

Reseña de Skybar Hoy hace 1 año nos casamos en el sky bar y me ha llevado tanto tiempo pensar en las palabras que quiero usar para describir nuestro día. La planificación inicial / comunicación fue en su mayoría genial antes del día. El día pareció transcurrir sin problemas aparte de algunas cuestiones menores como el vino equivocado en la mesa, algunas decoraciones faltando / en el lugar equivocado a pesar de anotar en detalle lo que iba a ir a dónde y cuándo, la comida vegetariana se veía y sabía COMPLETAMENTE diferente (y mucho menos sabroso) que cuando lo tuvimos en nuestro juicio pero nada en lo que pensábamos demasiado. No fue hasta la mañana siguiente cuando estábamos preparándonos para salir del hotel y volver a casa que surgió un problema, habíamos planeado un encantador día de relax con nuestros hijos disfrutando de nuestro primer día como pareja casada, pero eso se echó a perder cuando nos dimos cuenta de que nuestro papeleo legal no estaba donde se suponía que debía estar, o más bien donde el personal nos había dicho que estaba. Buscamos alto y bajo en la habitación del hotel, y con solo nosotros entrando en la habitación debería haber estado allí. Tras una investigación adicional del personal del hotel, nos informaron que el personal de limpieza había estado en nuestra habitación (cuando no tenían razón para hacerlo) después de que nuestro papeleo legal se había llevado a nuestra habitación y se nos explicó que “deben haberlo desechado” ¿un sobre y una bolsa que estaba sentado en una silla? ¿Ni cerca de una papelera? Lo dudo mucho. Tras una inspección adicional cuando llegamos a casa también nos dimos cuenta de que nuestra caja de anillos personalizada y grabada y nuestras corbatas de ayuno de nuestra ceremonia también faltaban! Así que un miembro del personal de limpieza había decidido que era aceptable entrar en nuestra habitación porque y tomar nuestras pertenencias, muy importantes y sentimentales también! Nuestro primer día como pareja casada fue muy estresante y realmente puso un amortiguador en el día de nuestra boda que debería haber sido uno de los mejores días de nuestras vidas. Afortunadamente, nuestro celebrante y la oficina de registro fueron muy útiles para organizar nuevos papeles legales y tener todo firmado, pero todos tuvieron que hacer todo lo posible, reorganizar los planes, etc. para que se firmara de nuevo a tiempo! ¿Y qué obtuvimos del hotel? Se suponía que una disculpa mísera y un reembolso de £ 500 como ese arreglarían las cosas. Nuestra boda, como la mayoría, nos costó una fortuna absoluta. Debería haber sido un día perfecto y bien organizado, pero el personal ni siquiera pudo acertar con los detalles más pequeños. Se suponía que nuestra comida al final también se guardaría para el día siguiente, pero no al personal que parecía que no les importaba menos, lo arruinaron todo. Miramos más allá de estos pequeños problemas en ese momento, pero cuando te sientas a pensar en todo lo que salió mal ese día, realmente nos ha molestado. Tampoco se hizo un seguimiento de cómo se trataba al personal y si alguna vez habían llegado al fondo de donde estaban nuestras pertenencias. Si pudiéramos volver y cambiar las cosas definitivamente no habríamos tenido nuestra boda en el SKYbar.

Usamos el SKYbar como lugar de nuestra boda. Por favor vea nuestra reseña a continuación. Positivos: El proceso de planificación fue meticuloso, y queremos dar un gran crédito a Alba por su excepcional servicio. Ella era extremadamente organizada, tranquila, amable y accesible. Sentimos que ninguna solicitud era demasiado pequeña o demasiado para manejar. Apreciamos particularmente lo complaciente que fue con los cambios de última hora en los números de huéspedes, etc. El día en sí, todo funcionó sin problemas, y el personal era muy servicial. La configuración de la habitación era hermosa, y la vista desde el SKYBar habla por sí misma. La comida era excelente, y el personal estaba atendiendo a nuestras peticiones a medida. Por ejemplo, mi tía, que sigue una estricta dieta FODMAP, pidió probar la pechuga de pato sin la salsa (a pesar de que esto no estaba en los requisitos dietéticos proporcionados) , y el camarero le trajo una sin ningún problema. Estos pequeños toques fueron muy apreciados. El postre fondant de chocolate era excepcional, y muchos de nuestros invitados nos dijeron que era el mejor postre que habían tenido en una boda. El asiento en el SKYBar por la noche era perfecto, especialmente el asiento suave junto a la ventana. Era ideal para ver la puesta de sol sobre la ciudad, y muchos de nuestros huéspedes comentaron lo hermoso que era. Monboddo era excelente para las bebidas de llegada. Era brillante, y había mucho espacio para sentarse. Esferas de mejora: La recepción de bebidas por la noche duró demasiado tiempo (casi 2 horas) y tuve que abogar por que se permitiera a los invitados subir, incluso después de informar al equipo de que no nos preocupaba que los invitados escucharan la configuración de la banda. Faltaban asientos en el vestíbulo. Algunos invitados comenzaron a frustrarse. Además, la iluminación era muy oscura. Cuando pedí que se encendiera en la recepción del Centro de Conferencias, me dijeron que se lo pidiera al camarero, quien luego me informó que no era posible ajustar la iluminación. El balcón estaba cerrado a las 10 de la noche, lo que puede no ser algo que pueda controlar, pero se convirtió en un problema ya que el SKYBar se calentó mucho, las ventanas se calentaron al vapor (lo que obstruyó la vista) y era inconveniente para los fumadores / vaporizadores o cualquiera que quisiera un poco de aire fresco tener que bajar las escaleras. El ascensor se convirtió en un pequeño problema, ya que hubo algunos retrasos debido a la capacidad limitada. En general, estábamos absolutamente encantados con nuestra elección del lugar de la boda. Nuestro día de boda fue realmente el mejor día, y el SKYBar fue increíble. Desde el excelente proceso de planificación hasta la hermosa configuración de la habitación y vistas impresionantes, todo superó nuestras expectativas. El personal era increíblemente servicial y servicial, y la comida era excepcional. A pesar de algunas mejoras, no podríamos estar más contentos con nuestra experiencia en el SKYBar. Fue el escenario perfecto para nuestro día especial, y estamos agradecidos por los recuerdos creados allí. No dudaríamos en recomendar el lugar a cualquiera.

Stating that I was underwhelmed would be an understatement! My niece, great nephew, and myself booked tickets for their Hogmanay celebration. You are seriously only paying for the view, because you aren't get much of anything else. There was NO decorations at all. NONE. No ambiance at all. No holiday atmosphere. The live entertainment was mostly a DJ, and not a DJ that actually mixed music. The also had a gentleman on bagpipes that was nice being in Scotland. The tickets warn that seating is first come first serve, but there is truly limited seating. The party starts at 8 and goes to 1am. To expect people to stand for that long is not guest centered thinking. It felt like a holiday money grab. They did the minimum. My sister booked Johnnie Walker for the celebration and was sharing pics of her reserved table, the lovey live band, the beautiful decorations, and the table service... She had a much better experience. If you want to be disappointed, go to the Sky Bar for Hogmanay!

Maybe this is an unfair rating, but it's not at all what was advertised to us for Hogmanay. The music/DJ was too loud to chat with others, there wasn't enough seating, and it was essentially had a club scene - which again is fine, but not how this evening was advertised. Very disappointed in the organizers. Despite having paid, we left after 20 minutes and celebrated elsewhere.

There is no doubt that the view of the castle is absolutely spectacular. It is certainly a memorable experience to enjoy a drink while taking in the stunning scenery. However, I must say that the rest of the bar is in a very poor state of repair. Despite its prime location and potential for an incredible atmosphere, the overall condition of the bar is quite disappointing. The decor and furnishings are outdated, and the entire space seems overdue for a full refurbishment. That being said, it is still worth a visit for a quick drink, especially if you can snag a table with a view facing the window. From this vantage point, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery without noticing the shabby state of the interior.

Paid for the window seat with prosecco and was quite disappointed. The main windows where the views are were all steamed up rendering the view pointless.

Visited Edinburgh at the start of the Edinburgh Festival 2022. Tried the SkyBar website, but instead of clearly stating if it was closed or fully booked, it just sent you round in circles. Tried ringing again and again - no answer. In the end we went to the venue to see if we could just come in for a drink - apparently no, as all bookings were for brunch and we would get in the way of the waiters. Same response when we asked could we just pop up and take a look at the bar. We asked about the following day and were told there was an event at 2pm, so we could TRY to get access to view the bar before it started, but not guaranteed. The Edinburgh Festival is the busiest time of the year for the city and this bar is certainly not taking advantage of 400,000+ visitors! What a wasted opportunity.

We had our wedding party here this weekend (after 2 years of waiting due to covid) it was brilliant fun. The BBQ food was so tasty, everyone said how good the food was. I wish I had had more of it myself. Lamb Koftas went down very well. Kimberley ensured the party went very smoothly she was also very good at responding to me with all the questions I had before our party, and also let me have bottles of drink delivered to her (straight from majestic) before hand, to save me from dropping them off. The view was just stunning, our guests loved the venue. The staff were brilliant behind the bar and polite. Our cake was cut and left for people to enjoy. Thank you to everyone at The Skybar for making our party an eventful evening. Even though we had very small numbers the venue never felt to big. We are both so happy we picked The SkyBar to celebrate our wedding with loved ones.

Great view of the castle. Other bars in the area offer this with a better experience. Three whiskies on the menu, one out of stock and one jack daniels which isn’t really a whisky. Cocktail wasn’t great. Waited 15minutes to place a drink order then 10 minutes for drink. Couldn’t catch a waiters attention to order again was brought bill 10 minutes before booking ended and told we couldn’t order anything else as there was another booking coming, despite place being half empty 🧐 had gave 2 stars for view but after writing this released it’s a 1

Lovely view and chill area to chat but drinks are completely disappointing. £15 minimum spending as deposit for table. Ordered one Red Dragon and one Failte Gu Alba. Firstly red dragon was supposed to be garnished with edible flowers but there was nothing. Asked the staff about it they said they have none at the moment. Really should have informed us that when we were ordering :) The outlook of this cocktail is as blank as my mind when I took the first sip. Second, Red Dragon has hints of Lychee, bland taste of tequila, bit mint and tastes mostly like water. Then Failte Gu Alba just tastes like johnny walker mixed with some kind of orange squash. These are £10.95 each from a supposedly bar, I literally had ones that are way better at restaurant earlier in the day for £10 each. Decided to come because of Designmynight recommendation but utterly disappointed to the point that I’m writing this review after the first sips of each ‘cocktail’. Honestly not worth the money at all. Wish I spent the £22 somewhere else. Once is more than enough.

Ended up here by accident, walked past during the day and popped in to check availability. Open weekends only I believe. There are options for Prosecco/champagne and window seats… now we know about them would definitely do it in the future. Although we room really isn’t that big to not get the benefit of the windows. Views obviously not so great at night, would like to see it in the day light. Great atmosphere and Marcello served us and was first class.

I wouldn’t bother going here - we were SO looking forward to visiting here but were so let down. We were aware when booking our table had a time slot. However by the time someone actually came to us to order our drinks, 20mins/half hour had elapsed. We were drinking our Prosecco and suddenly a bill was dropped on our table by the manager telling us we needed to pay. We still had around half hour left of our booking. We were reminded twice after that to pay our bill. Not the service you should be receiving as a customer. We then explained it took so long for our drinks order to be taken and were told there was an outdoor terrace we could go and finish our drinks on. Thinking there would be seats, maybe some heaters, we agreed. The terrace is a joke! No cover, no seats, one tiny bar table in the middle to stand at and put your drink on. The “terrace” was definitely mislead to us by the waitress! All in all this is massively over rated, underwhelming, poor service and I would go and soak up the views in another bar!!

Don't go. You enter through the ground floor, greeted by the ambience and style of a late 1990s conference centre, you ascend to the top floor, expecting the view of a lifetime. Instead, you are greeted with clubland classics blaring, cheap neon strip lights everywhere and a view that is wiped out by reflections on the glass. It feels and sounds like a rural school disco. Johnnie Walker and The Lookout have better views and are infinitely more refined.

Was pretty basic? Anticlimax to say the least- when you arrive they make it seem you’re about to enter the best bar in Edinburgh… no. Don’t get me wrong the views are lovely. We had a time slot from 5-6pm which we were reminded about over and over. We ordered our first drinks fine but before our second drink even came we were asked to pay the bill twice! Just so rushed! No need. The staff didn’t seem to know much and were inexperienced - which is fine, but just didn’t feel the service charge was merited as the service was pretty appalling. We told the manager but he couldn’t really care less - but looking through these other reviews we aren’t the only ones that had this experience

Worth a visit for the views alone. It's hard to get a booking as it's only open on weekends but is often closed on weekends for private functions. We visited during the day and the views were amazing. The cocktails were OK. No passionfruit in the pornstar martinis was a shame. The prosecco was hands down the worst i've ever had which was disappointing. But it's a great atmosphere and stunning views so definitely worth a visit.

Hired a slot for 13 of us for a Saturday night get-together and the Skybar did not disappoint. The views are spectacular and the atmosphere was amazing. The staff were great and attentive and the drinks were brilliant. It was well managed to make sure the place was not overcrowded with people & we all had a great time and will most definitely be back!!

Been so excited to visit here only to discover the only thing it has going for it is the view! The area is just a glorified conference room bar with very little atmosphere. The drinks menu is poor with a Pornstar Martini with no passion...

Great view shocking service. View of the castle and Edinburgh skyline is excellent but sadly the service which is table service only is shockingly slow and completely unfriendly in that it appears to be a chore for the staff to bring you drinks. It should be noted there are also no snacks/food served in the bar. Overall a very poor experience and for the price paid not value for money.

Lovely setting ruined by very impersonal service from the front of house staff. Furthermore my friend had ordered food specific to her dietary requirements prior to visiting. Although confirmed, this did not appear and no attempt was made to help source something suitable. A prime example of over promising and under delivering.

Nice place for parties, great view ove whole of Edinburgh and lovely drinks. But not suitable for active parties like latin dancing since the ventilation won't keep up and gets moist and hot like a sauna

Lovely place. Reasonably priced drinks and the views were great. Only 1 prob lift was broken when we got there and it's on 5th floor but apart from that had an amazing night

Phenomenal view over Edinburgh's Skyline. Bright space and well equipped for meetings. Lovely square sausage rolls (very tasty!) Slightly odd arrangement for the toilets (down a flight of stairs or down in the lift to -1 level for ♿ users).

SKYbar is a really nice venue. We enjoyed the view while sipping good cocktails and eating tasty burgers. The Staff was really helpful, the photographer talented. We appreciated being offered the V.I.P. area that was available at this moment. We'll come back for sure!

Would have been EXTREMELY helpful if you wrote somewhere - besides your entrance door, that the Skybar is only open one day in every month.. The woman in the reseption was rude about it and said that it was written everywhere. Nope.

I had an amazing experience at Pickles! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening out. The wine selection was impressive, with a wide range of options to suit every palate. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service, especially from our server Nona. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, helping us choose the perfect wines to pair with our small bites. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a top-notch wine bar experience!

Like every IKEA I’ve visited the stores are virtually all identical so you know the order where items are the Edinburgh branch is no different. The only irritating thing I found was when I ordered a kitchen cabinet I had to collect it from another warehouse about a mile away however it was ready when I got there so no need to wait. There is plenty of parking,even a separate area for click and collect, which I believe It’s a timed slot. I tried to have a coffee afterwards but the queue was too long and taking ages so gave up in the end. The overall experience was fairly good I got what I wanted the area on the ground floor where all the random items are is the best I thought a bit of a ‘pick and mix’ would I go again yes but only on a annual basis it’s not somewhere I’d go every week.
