the Omni centre is like the Chuck Norris of entertainment. Whatever you fancy doing - having a drink, going for a run, going to see a movie, maybe you fancy a swim, or if you fancy dinner, The Omni Centre is your place. They have everything from a Virgin Active Gym to a bar that does karaoke - WITH A LIVE BAND! I'm no Whitney, but I've been up on that stage more than once. The whole place is always buzzing and it's always busy. As a result of being in the Omni Centre, the bars and restaurants are really quite expensive and the parking is extortionate! (helpful hint...if it's after 6pm just park anywhere around the centre!) . It's a really nice place to come for the day, everything is under the same roof. I've been on a few first dates here and it makes the whole awkward and uncomfortable parts less! woohoo!

I've always had a great excitement for cinemas, but the Omni Centre just takes things to another level! Vue Cinema has several large screening rooms, all extremely comfortable and nicely presented. The movie choices are usually the latest blockbusters, whereas the more indie and alternative films can be seen at other cinemas such as the Filmhouse, or Cameo. Then we come to the incredible number of restaurants at the Omni Centre... the oddly named Slug and Lettuce (I'm finding it very difficult to eat there), Frankie and Benny's, a spanish place called La Tasca and an Australian sports bar/restaurant called Walkabout! The Omni Centre is hugely and quite distinguishable, as it's one of the few modern buildings on Leith Walk. You're almost guaranteed to have a great night there, if you don't pick a crap movie ofcourse!

The great thing about the Omni Centre is its location. Its only 10 minutes walk away from Princes Street. The Omni Centre hosts a Vue Cinema with 12 screens. The seats are comfortable and the screens are large enough. The centre also hosts a good range of restaurants. I'd agree with the other reviewers that these are chain restaurants, and there is not an authentic restaurant in there, but then again if all you need is a decent dinner before your movie, those restaurants will do the trick. I personally like the La Tasca in there. If you are living in that area and would like to go to a gym, there is a Virgin Active health club in the centre.

I visit here alot as it has so much choice. This is a huge complex with a large cinema area, Lots of Pubs and Clubs and a variety of Restaurants. The cinema has 2 screens and a seating capacity of 2100. There are many films on and lots of great offers. And of course who can forget the yummy popcorn, hotdogs and nacho's.. mmmm There are many various pubs and clubs, all have a great atmosphere and is a great meeting place. There is a mixture of lovely restaurants with amazing food and a family friendly atmosphere. The outside of the building is unmissable with its huge glass building and unexpected, metal sculpture of an adult and young giraffe called "Dreaming Spires". There is also has a large car park. The Playhouse and St James's shopping centre are nearby.

It is a big and beautiful place. On the top floor there is a large VUE cinema, and on the ground floor there are several restaurants and bars but, this place needs something else that will bring it a little more life. Especially during the week. I love the two giraffe sculptures next to the entrance.

If you quite fancy spending a paycheck in the one night then batter in at the Omni Centre, like I did last week. The cinema is expensive, but then so are all cinemas. Two tickets: £13. Dinner at Frankie and Bennys (which wasn't great): £35. Drinks in a couple of the bars, which are damn expensive: I stopped counting after £40. Although that was probably because I could no longer count. Damn Vodka strikes again. Mood nightclub was, to be honest, a bit of a blur. But I'm a big believer in everywhere being like Pacha in Ibiza if you're drunk enough. It probably isn't. For all your needs under the one big glass roof then the Omni Centre is great. Just bring your cheque book.

See all

Unfortuntately I didn't get much time in here. I had to go through to Leith for my work and my…read morecolleague and I were actually looking for somewhere to get some grub. We headed on in and was agast by the sheer size of the place and it's oh so modern. It's on 3 levels and has a Vue cinema and I hear it has a boat somewhere, not in it I think?! Well it has a shop relating to it anyway. We were there about after 4.30ish on Monday so it was pretty quiet. It looked like it contained the usual high street shops with a few added extras i.e. The Whiskey Shop & Zamboo = a shop selling very weird looking vases. We searched for a food court of some sort but all we came across was what looked like Mitchelin star restaurants. It looked shut but according to the website it's open 'till 10pm. It just wasn't looking like the sort of eating establishment we had in mind, well one with food would've be good for a start. Anyhoo I ain't dissing the place as I only experienced it a little but if I'm ever back out this way I'm sure I'll pop in.

It's big, crowded, loud and full of big families looking to fill their afternoon trying amuse the…read morekiddies with food court treats and a dinosaur display (ain't nothing wrong with that, go you parents!) But no, not for me. So many awesome places in Edinburgh and this is not one of them. I only came here to see the Royal Brittania but I got hungry so went to buy fancy wine and enjoy a fabulous afternoon eating seafood instead. Because that's how I roll. This is probably my worst retail nightmare and I'll avoid this place at all costs. There is seriously nothing special about this place, just a whole bunch of chain stores that you could find anywhere else in Edinburgh. Or Scotland. Or purchase items from online.

Fountain Park is one of those soulless leisure complexes that is there to use up your hard earned…read morecash. There is a large Cineworld cinema, Pizza Hut, Nandos, a casino, Virgin Active health club, bars, bingo, bowling alley and a kiddies soft play center. I actually quite like Fountain Park because it is right on my doorstep and it has everything I need for an evening on entertainment. There is a large car park so you can drive here and if you use the cinema or other businesses your car park ticket is validated making the parking free. Free parking in Edinburgh is a bonus! You can go for something to eat and know what to expect in the chain restaurants before heading off to the cinema/bowling alley/casino. It's perhaps not as large as some of the out of town complexes you see in the likes of Glasgow, but it does have everything you need and something for everyone.

I have only been to Fountain Park once, for bowling. But I will return this afternoon to visit the…read moreCineworld. Anyway, I feel that this place is largely for the students living around this area as it has a massive Cineworld, a Pizza Hut, a Nando's and a Tenpin bowling alley among its facilities available. The place felt quite empty and depressing the last time I was in and there seemed to be a lot of empty space between the bowling alley and the cinema, with the main concourse functioning as an extended hallway to get between the two. There is an underground car park which is free for the first four hours but if you stay any longer than that, then you will have to pay money for every extra hour you stay there. I did like the bowling alley, and the Pizza Hut was pretty decent when we went to it so I suppose this place serves its purpose with one of the only casual bowling alleys in the Edinburgh area. I hope I will enjoy Cineworld as it seems significantly cheaper than Odeon and Vue.
