Great late night cocktails complimented with D’lish “nibbles”’. Mmmhhh.

The Celey Bar is quite delightful and offers an extensive variety of beverages. The cocktail menu drew inspiration from diverse cities across the globe, which was particularly intriguing to me as an avid traveller. We received exceptional service from Megan, Emily, and Lukasz. They were all very courteous and took great pleasure in answering our inquiries and assisting us in selecting our drinks. Definitely recommend for a drink or two

Excellent staff and experience at the Caley bar. Meghan and Beth were superb bartenders, sharing with us their extensive knowledge of the cocktails, local gins, and fine whiskeys and scotches on hand. They not only crafted some of the most sumptuous drinks, but also shared with us the ‘dos and don’ts’ in Edinburgh. We enjoyed our time at the Caley bar, coming back thrice during my stay at the Caledonian. The service was above and beyond — we even came back as patrons while we were staying at the Balmoral, a dusty old hotel up the road. We love the Caley bar, can’t wait to be back! Be sure to ask for Meghan or Beth. :) 10/10

This is exactly what you’d expect from a luxury cocktail bar. Beautiful place, warm atmosphere, huge selection, great cocktails, and staff who are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We always feel welcome when we pop in for a drink. The drinks are delicious and the vibe is perfect. Staff know their stuff and go out of their way to make you feel welcome - whether you want a quiet drink to yourself or fancy a chat with someone new. There is always a chance of seeing a famous person enjoying a drink as well! As for food, hands down the best club sandwich in Edinburgh is served here. Always a 10/10 experience whenever we come here. Shout out to Charles, Ellie and assistant manager Lukas for their warm welcome.

Perfect atmosphere in a beautiful, cosy and stylish bar. We had whiskey and sherry based cocktails that were created by the excellent mixologist Ellie, all served with that unique warm, welcoming Scottish hospitality. Would definitely recommend this place.

Charles, Ellis, and Ellie will absolutely take care of you here. Expert cocktails crafted in the most artful way possible. This isn’t your normal 5 star hotel bar or even your normal high end cocktail lounge, it’s something above that. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or simply passing through you will be welcomed in the most professional way and will absolutely have a fantastic time.

A lovely spot in just the right place, where you can enjoy all kinds of drinks: a wide selection of whisky and rum, great original cocktails, classics and also own mixes. Highly recommend, whether for couples, solo, or with a group of friends - I had an amazing time, the staff is also really nice and chatty, so you know they care about your comfort.

Recently been refurbished, this is one classy bar that you want to be seen in. The decor is plush, with gorgeous comfortable seating, dim lighting and excellent cocktails. This is one perfect spot for romance - its sexy and ideal for making an impression. Obviously you dont have to go on a date! Large booths and cube seating to host large groups or just mates that fancy a wee night out.

This bar has had a makeover recently so we were curious to see what it looked like - we had never been in this bar before. Designers have gone for very dark low level lighting. One clever thing was attaching mini lights to the menus. As you can imagine, within a 5 star hotel, its not cheap. My wife had a very nice cocktail (Osaka) at £15 and I had a pint of 'Bitter & Twisted' for £7. Then add a 12.5% discretionary service charge.

What a gem. Upon looking at the couple bartenders, i judged them to be too young to know anything about whiskey. I could not have been more wrong. They were fantastic on their knowledge and explanations about a variety of whiskey.

Big shout out and an even bigger thank you to Jonathan, Thomas and Sophie at the Caley bar inside the Waldorff Astoria in Edinburgh. They saved our disappointing night on the town with great drinks, service and conversation. Thank you all and we look forward to seeing you again!

Sophisticated and comfortable bar space, served attentively by a team of waiting staff which will offer you practically any drink you can name - but with the inflated price tag that the luxury commands. Go here occasionally to treat yourself, but don't make it your regular unless you're the kind of person that never needs to read the bill at the end of the night...!

Il Caley Bar è parte integrante del Waldorf Astoria Caledonian e anticamente era la biglietteria della stazione. La scelta delle bevande a disposizione è infinita e la preparazione viene fatta in maniera impeccabile dal personale che è molto preparato e attento ad ogni richiesta. Assolutamente da provare sia da soli che in compagnia.

Disappointed - had a reservation for a pre- rugby lunch on Saturday. Unfortunately despite having email confirmation of the booking, there was a ‘system issue’ and no table was available. Try finding an alternative table around Haymarket/Murrayfield on a game day 🙁

+10 points for the option of the enormous jug of lassi. The Puri Yoghurt Bombs were delicious and a must eat delectable morsel. The service was prompt and friendly - a fresh take on Indian street food (a mix of the new and the traditional). The butter chicken was also delicious!

Small place with a great food! I like the decor of the place. The staff is friendly and helpful. I like the idea of when food is ready it’s on the table in random order. Small place but selection of different dishes is great so definitely we’ll be back to try more of it. If you’re a fan of Asian food this place is a must visit on your culinary journey.
