I would say the best thing about this bar is the view. We had to wait a while for someone to come over and take our drinks and then had to catch someone’s attention to order a second round. Good atmosphere and great view.
Went for an event and the food was absolutely atrocious and staff were unpleasant. View was lovey but honestly you can get the same if not better without horrible food and overpriced drinks.
There is no doubt that the view of the castle is absolutely spectacular. It is certainly a memorable experience to enjoy a drink while taking in the stunning scenery. However, I must say that the rest of the bar is in a very poor state of repair. Despite its prime location and potential for an incredible atmosphere, the overall condition of the bar is quite disappointing. The decor and furnishings are outdated, and the entire space seems overdue for a full refurbishment. That being said, it is still worth a visit for a quick drink, especially if you can snag a table with a view facing the window. From this vantage point, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery without noticing the shabby state of the interior.
We attended a beautiful wedding here. I've lived in Edinburgh for years and never knew this place existed. The views are spectacular.
We had our wedding party here this weekend (after 2 years of waiting due to covid) it was brilliant fun. The BBQ food was so tasty, everyone said how good the food was. I wish I had had more of it myself. Lamb Koftas went down very well.
Kimberley ensured the party went very smoothly she was also very good at responding to me with all the questions I had before our party, and also let me have bottles of drink delivered to her (straight from majestic) before hand, to save me from dropping them off. The view was just stunning, our guests loved the venue. The staff were brilliant behind the bar and polite. Our cake was cut and left for people to enjoy.
Thank you to everyone at The Skybar for making our party an eventful evening. Even though we had very small numbers the venue never felt to big. We are both so happy we picked The SkyBar to celebrate our wedding with loved ones.

Attended a Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce breakfast at the SkyBar. It has to be some of the best views from a venue in Edinburgh, with an added bonus of the outside terrace looking towards Edinburgh Castle. The lift getting up there is pretty small, otherwise great venue and amazing setting 👌
Lovely view and nice atmosphere. Only complaint would be the cheap bulbs on the table were faulty and didn't light up, other customers were swapping lights so they could have a working light. For a bar of this calibre surely they can afford decent lighting on the table. Could do with a toilet on that floor,you have to walk down a couple of flights of stairs to get to the toilet
Don't go. You enter through the ground floor, greeted by the ambience and style of a late 1990s conference centre, you ascend to the top floor, expecting the view of a lifetime. Instead, you are greeted with clubland classics blaring, cheap neon strip lights everywhere and a view that is wiped out by reflections on the glass. It feels and sounds like a rural school disco. Johnnie Walker and The Lookout have better views and are infinitely more refined.
