Perfect for the bride with a passion for problem-solving, Escape Hunt offers a unique take on your classic hen activity. With space for groups of up to 24 people, you'll enjoy an hour of high-octane gameplay, followed by complimentary prosecco in their luxury VIP lounge. And the best bit? Book for 10 people or more, and the bride goes free.
Following one very slick refurbishment, Le Monde has transformed into one of the prettiest venues in Edinburgh. More than just a spot for a few drinks, you can get stuck into cocktail-making masterclasses, afternoon teas and decadent dinners, before heading underground for more drinks and dancing at Shanghai.
Looking for somewhere to let your hair down? The Raging Bull is a seriously chic cocktail bar in Edinburgh's city centre that's a hot find for hen dos. You can book out a private bar for up to 40 people, with masterclasses and delicious drinks at the ready.
One of our favourite city centre spots, Angels Share is ideal for hen do haunts. Enjoy everything from epic live music events to the scrumptious food the venue slings out and much more. Plus, if you fancy some Insta pics, the interiors here are absolutely lush.
Fill your Edinburgh hen do with a whole load of old school funfair games, alongside the chance to win cool prizes. But that's not all, as refreshments come in the form of quirky themed cocktails and a choice of burgers or hotdogs.
After a hen party dinner in Edinburgh? With locations in St James Quarter and George Street, The Alchemist is a fabulous drinking den. Enjoy sips such as The Legal One or French Kiss while tucking into small bites - think crispy shrooms, panko halloumi and more.
Revolution is a bar that was almost created with hen parties in mind. With arguably the biggest line-up of flavoured shots and vodka cocktails in the city and a great team of DJs spinning tracks downstairs, this place's party vibe is unrivalled.
Boteco Do Brasil hopes to recreate the flair and vibrant energy of Rio in the heart of the Scottish capital. Bartenders here use a range of bright liqueurs and punchy rums to serve a variety of tropical cocktails, which all erupt off the palate, while their in-house performers keep those hips moving 'til dawn.
Hive's party atmosphere more than makes up for the club's lack of glamour. Though not Edinburgh's prettiest venue, the club is legendary for never hosting a dull night. Open until 3 AM every day, and with an enticing number of drinks discounts, if you're not wrapping up your night here, did you even go out?

Want something different for your hen? Cheeky Events are showcasing some of the best activities, from cocktail-making classes and life drawing courses to stripper or naked butler hire. Some steamiest party packages? We think so.
