Ghillie Dhu

Situated in the heart of the West End of Edinburgh is the Ghillie Dhu, a classic Scottish venue which hosts a variety of experiences from the main bar to the beautiful auditorium. You'll find all prime live sports shown across the venue with many viewing options from the comfortable booths, accompanied by an ample drinks menu featuring classic cocktails, perfect serves and whisky flights.

The venue is home to the Burly Ceilidh Club, a night of fine dining, live ceilidh music and dancing, with dates throughout the year. So whether you a looking for a night of casual drinks in the main bar, featuring live music and a late night DJ or to host a spectacular event in stunning surroundings, look no further than the Ghillie Dhu.
