This was the absolute best venue for my fiances 30th. Firstly, the staff, all wonderful, all truly hard working and easy to talk to. Communication was amazing and everything was clear for our event. The place was beautiful, cool and perfect place to host 40 people, so much space!! The bar being available solely to us all night was amazing, and all our guests had the best time. We could decorate however we wanted and the playlist was played with ease. Welcome drinks were done so lovely- espresso martinis for a “30 is brewing” theme! The drinks through the night were incredible and honestly it was a night everyone needed. All the food was delicious, however only allowed to be out for 2 hours! I wish we had alittle heads up maybe like 30-20 mins prior to it being taken away so the guests could have ate it abit more, as there were still lots of food left! But the staff explained it’s a food hygiene reason which is super understandable, but maybe for future events giving the host a 30 minute reminder ! But honestly didn’t affect the most incredible night!
Top 30th Birthday Venues in Edinburgh
Organising any birthday can be difficult, but your 30th poses some special challenges. You are not a youngster any more, and some of you might even have kids! Of course, none of you are quite so old and staid that only a high tea in a stuffy hotel will do. So, in this case the only answer is to jot down a guest list and decide what kind of party will suit your 30th celebration the best. Edinburgh is a beautiful and atmospheric town with an amazing selection of restaurants and pubs, especially in New Town. It won’t be hard to find something that will help you ring in your 30th birthday, and many venues offer birthday packages including set menus (with cake) or drink prices. Other places will offer minimum spend, which is a great way to celebrate while still spreading out the costs. If you have any special requests such as music or a DJ be sure to check with the venue, as depending on the location there could be noise restrictions after certain hours.

Verified Reviews of 30th Birthday Party Venues in Edinburgh
The venue was lovely and the staff were very helpful! We used it for a joint 30th birthday and the space was perfect. We were able to use downstairs for the first couple of hours and then once the restaurant quieted, we moved upstairs. The drinks were great, good selection and very cosy vibes! Absolutely would book again (and have already been back for drinks!)
We hired The Little Picardy for my brothers 30th birthday and it was the best party ever! The staff were so helpful from the very beginning. They communicated very well and nothing was an issue. On the night of the party the bar staff were very fast and let us play our own music as loud as we liked! We also decorated the bar with our own decorations. Everyone had a great time and i would definitely consider booking it again for the next big party!
Staff were amazing, super friendly and on that ball, did not need to wait at all for a drink at the bar. Venue also amazing, got some many complements. Well set up with decor, fairy lights etc.
Organized a surprise birthday party at Dragonfly. Arron was very helpful in organising the event and all the staff was very friendly! We had a great time!
We had a fantastic time at the Dragonfly! It was for my 30th birthday and it was worth every penny and more. The staff were so kind and helpful and everyone really enjoyed the venue and party. I'm overjoyed!
Amazing venue! The Porty Vault was an ideal venue for my brother's 30th celebrations. The space is great with a nice layout of chairs and standing spaces. The food was absolutely exceptional and the selection of drinks was great - loved all the different beers that are available on tap. To top it off, the staff were great as well! Would highly recommend this as a space to hire out for a private party.
