Edinburgh is home to an array of birthday party venues, from large and elegant to quirky and intimate! Bars, pubs, and restaurants are some of the most popular spaces hired for celebrations - in the end, they serve great food and drinks, which is the foundation of a good party! These venues can often be hired exclusively for bigger events, but they also offer private and semi-private spaces, including dining rooms, lounges, and bar areas. You can also find private function rooms at hotels, which is a great choice if your guests need accommodation! Clubs in Edinburgh are especially popular among the younger audience, so if you’re planning an 18th and 21st birthday party keep an eye on them! If the guest list is getting rather lengthy, consider a hall or suite. These elegant spaces can fit a crowd and they are perfect for a birthday banquet! Edinburgh also has something in stock for those looking for outdoor party spots. Terraces and gardens can be hired separately or in conjunction with indoor spaces for al fresco celebrations. If you’re looking for something a bit more unique, book one of Edinburgh’s many conservatories - all-glass walls and roofs are perfect for impressing your guests and catching the last of the Scottish sunshine!

Your Guide to Hiring Birthday Party Venues in Edinburgh

Located next to the world-renowned University of Edinburgh and underneath the watchful gaze of Edinburgh Castle, the Old Town perfectly blends tradition and modernism. Along the area’s busiest streets, such as North Bridge, South Bridge, and Cowgate, find a great range of private and unique spaces, including small games booths with pacman, chess, and draughts, extravagantly decorated function spaces, as well as the smallest pub in Scotland! 

In the north of the city, find Edinburgh’s New Town, a modern area in traditionally Scottish surroundings. Along George Street, the area’s major thoroughfare that leads to St Andrews Square, you’ll find a variety of minimum spend venues, a very attractive form of venue hire for birthday parties. Without spending a single pound on venue hire fees, enjoy a range of party halls, karaoke rooms, garden bars, and function rooms. Just don’t set your sights too high with an unreachable figure!

Arty and cosmopolitan, Edinburgh’s West End is a colourful place with a great ambience for a birthday celebration. To accommodate large guest-lists, there’s a nice variety of grandiose halls and suites, while you can also hire whole restaurant areas with minimum spend or dry hire. Adapting to all crowds, smaller celebrations are also welcome, with a variety of relaxed cafes and bars on streets such as Shandwick Place and Queensferry Street.

Booked Event Space at Rogue
5.0
🌼 Amazing Birthday Venue! 🌼 I had a birthday party here for about 30 guests, and it was honestly perfect. The florist shop itself is absolutely gorgeous—full of fresh flowers, cozy vibes, and so much charm. It felt like we were celebrating in a secret garden! Alice was super friendly and made everything so easy. She helped set up the space just how I wanted.Everyone kept saying how beautiful and unique the venue was. It’s such a cool spot for a small party—way more special than a typical hall or restaurant. If you’re looking for something intimate and full of character, I’d totally recommend this place. Big thanks to Alice for making the day so lovely! 🌸

Booked Whisky Lounge at Hot Toddy
5.0
I recently booked the Whisky Lounge at Hot Toddy for my birthday party. Alice the events manager was amazing, she responded very quickly to my messages and assisted with all my enquiries. The venue put on a very reasonably priced package of a welcoming Prosecco for all my guests. The staff worked very hard during my event and were super friendly and lovely. The function room itself is amazing, beautifully decorated and excellent value for money. I would definitely love to return for a meal or a whisky tasting.

Booked Clubroom at Angel's Share Hotel
5.0
Organised a private family birthday party at Angel's Share - it couldn't have gone more smoothly. The manager, Dori, was an absolute delight to deal with; all requests and queries were responded to promptly in an obliging, friendly manner. The venue itself is lovely; the Clubroom where we were situated was tucked out of the way of the main bar but still connected enough we didn't feel totally alone. All the staff were super friendly and helpful (especially Helena!), and throughout the night all the guests felt welcome and well-looked after. The food is of excellent quality as well. Would 100% recommend Angel's Share for private events!

Booked The Other Room at Dragonfly Cocktail Bar
5.0
The team at Dragonfly were really helpful during the organisation of my partner’s 40th birthday party. Arron got back to me really quickly with any questions, provided great suggestions re catering and decorations. The private room was the perfect size and guests commented that the location was handy and central, too. I would definitely recommend Dragonfly as a location for a small private function.

Booked Wee Tap at Hanover Tap, Edinburgh
4.8
I held a birthday party here for around 50 people in late January 2023. The team were very communicative and extremely helpful in the runup to the event. They were able to adjust the food pre-orders with relatively short notice and were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. The staff on the night (in particular Lucas behind the bar) were amazing and eager to ensure that everything was going well. The space itself was perfect -- plenty of room for people both to sit down but also stand up and mingle. The food was unbelievably good, especially the vegan cheesecake! I had an excellent night and would whole-heartedly recommend the Wee Tap! I'll almost definitely be coming back here next year to celebrate my birthday again :)

The room we hired was perfect for our small group of 7 but could've easily fit twice as many. The manager on shift John and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful and made sure we were having a good time.
