The majority of restaurants that offer private rooms for hire in Edinburgh are situated in the centre of the city, in the New Town and Old Town. These historic districts, the former built in the Georgian times and the latter Medieval, are both stunning settings filled with beautiful architecture and attractions. You'll find plenty of venues available for hire near the Princes Street Gardens and the Edinburgh Castle.

Loud music rules are always a bit of a mixed bowl - some venues are totally fine with it, but others are not. It usually depends on the level of soundproofing in the restaurant and its surroundings, so it’s best to check the policies thoroughly and not take any risks. In our smart search filters, you can tick the ‘Loud music/events’ box to narrow down the results. Most rooms list the duration of their loud music licence on their space page, so make sure to check that too!
