Outside is on full display with the columns decked out with Christmas lights. It's beautiful which needs to be seen. You won't miss it when you're in Edinburgh. Even the family tried to get a reservation during the holiday for dinner which wasn't available. People usually book way in advance when it's the holidays. And that's not just for the main dining room. They couldn't even get it for the bar area. Well, it was after the holidays when we walked in asking if there was anything available for a drink. Our luck, the lounge was available. Dining room was still all booked out. It was fine, lounge when you walked in gives you that gentleman smoking lounge vibes. The dark wood, tufted seats and the library wall. Faux I believe which maybe alcohol behind it. Even the bar area was quite nice. As it was the holidays or after, the place was still well into all the decoration. The detail they put into this place is magnificent. The whole aesthetic and atmosphere was amazing. Regardless if you in the main room or one of the lounge, it still worth it. There were loads of people just coming in to take pictures. All the staff were well dressed and presentable. The Dome, an institution of Edinburgh that is worth checking out. For a meal or drinks or even a wander through.

This meant that on a recent pre-holiday airport wait we decided to skip the Weatherspoon's and go for some champagne instead. Instead of being in a bar, your more at a station in the middle of the departure lounge, but actually I quite liked that. (Plenty of people watching opportunities) The menu has food and drinks on it, but we just went with champagne. The cheapest one it had to be though and that was still bloody expensive! Still, it was lovely and that was the main thing. If you are at the airport and don't want to be stuck in the pub with ten stag and hen party groups, I can recommend this place to you. A bit more peaceful, nice food and drink options and fast efficient service. Just bring plenty of cash.

Airport bars are rarely fabulous and Edinburgh airport is not the best but this place is a-ok…read more The departure lounge is going through a long overdue make-over with some new shops appearing. Flutes and Tails replaces the previous seafood bar that was here and seems a wee bit more inviting. There's a range of drinks, not just fizz and the cheapest glass of fizz starts at £9.95. Some classy looking reds and white wines were on the menu but they had house wines too for more of a budget friendly option. I ordered Pommery (£12 a glass ) and pop corn (£4.50). I liked the snack option - I wanted something to soak up the alcohol as I'd knew I'd eat in London plus eat fish on the plane so this was new from the previous incarnation. Joe and Sephs pop corn is also gluten free and they had 3-4 different types which I liked. The bowl was actually quite a big bowl so pretty filling. Service was friendly and efficient. Decent pour of champagne too and toddled off a bit buzzed for my flight :-) I'd probably come here again if I'm on a later flight as it was a nice wee treat to start of my travels. #yelpmission

So I ordered some olives to snack on. Not that impressive of a menu. But I figure this place is more for drinks, snacks and desserts. I ended up with a cappuccino martini and it was made with precision. Great prices for what you get. The service here was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was elegant and laid back at the same time. The ceiling and chandelier are absolutely breathtaking. One of the chandeliers at this spot is the second largest in the world...I kid you not. I recommend stopping by here if in the area for the best customer service where they treat you like a queen.

We were looking for somewhere to go for afternoon tea as Bex M is moving to Brighton (*sobs*), and…read moreI thought Champagne Central would be worth a try. I've visited here a couple of times for meetings/Yelp events and so hadn't had the chance to properly try it as a customer. Afternoon tea is £14.95 pp which is a pretty amazing price compared to some other places in town which are over £20 pp. For this you get: chef's top plate of cakes, homemade Glengoyne whisky macerated sultana & plain scones with clotted cream & jam, chef's selection of sandwiches - smoked salmon & cucumber, roast beef & horseradish mayonnaise, egg & cress, cream cheese and pickle. And tea, obviously. We were seated in the lounge area of Champagne Central which you could easily miss if you didn't venture far enough into the bar. It's super cosy and comfortable, and has lovely couches so it's nice to sit back and relax rather than be perched at the tall chairs in the bar. Initially service was a little patchy but the waitress explained she'd only just started working there, and she was really lovely and helpful. The other waitress who was helping us (Izabella) was great and super helpful with everything we threw at her! I'd forgot to mention that I wanted a gluten free afternoon tea when we'd booked. I mentioned it when we were there, expecting they couldn't do much about it but they went to the furthest ends of the earth to accommodate me and give us updates on how far away our afternoon tea would be. It was probably a 1/2 an hour wait which wasn't too bad seeing as I should have warned them in advance! And a separate plate of peanut-free cakes were delivered for Bex. I've had a gluten free afternoon before elsewhere, and it was dire. Spongy bread and rock-hard scones. So I wasn't sure what to expect here. When the food arrived it looked really good - and I mean, properly good. I got mini rolls rather than sandwiches and these were some of the nicest, freshest rolls I've had (and that includes gluten rolls). The scone was amazing! So fresh, light and fluffy, I actually started to doubt it was gluten free, it was so nice. Served with clotted cream and pots of jam, we were in scone heaven. The cakes were also a great selection and I really enjoyed those too - but for me the highlight was the scone. They even packaged up my second scone for me to take home. All up, this was a really great afternoon tea which is a steal for the price and a really nice atmosphere to sit and relax with the girls for a couple of hours. I'd say it was moderately busy but never noisy as the seats are spread really far apart, so you can even forget you're in a busy bar.

Thursday and Sunday nights at Opal Lounge is usually the place to be for the young Edinburgh crowd. I quite like the fact that the bar staff actually make decent drinks, complete with napkin!

They offer a range of VIP packages, I don't know anyone who can actually afford these sorts of things but I guess there is plenty of people in Edinburgh who can. Prices for a VIP package go all the way up to £500 so you better start saving for a night out here!

We were lucky enough to just show up and grab a semi-circle shaped booth by the bar without any wait. We LOVED that a) the cocktail menu clearly stated "All drinks vegan, please inform staff of any allergens before ordering" and b) that they had the shape of the glassware next to the drink name. The bartender even took some time to make recommendations based on both what was most popular with customers and what the house/staff favorites were. We ended up going with the Porty Licks (gin, pineapple liquor, passionfruit, toasted almond topped with edible flowers) and Green Room (bourbon, peach liquor, lemon, peach, basil yuzu). Both were really well balanced drinks! Next time I'd get the King Khan (spiced rum and a mango oat lassi) or the Hare Krishna (mango, oat milk, chilli, coconut cream, and cardamom - sounds like a lovely non-alcoholic beverage and dessert)!
