Doorman was biased to age for one of the members within the group and also made false accusations of their state. (Sober) we played along and came back 1 hour later (as recommended by the doorman) to be told the club was now closed. I then politely asked my party to set off back to the hotel and asked the doorman if he has any sort of identification in which I can identify him. He then got aggressive and upfront about not needing any sort of way to identify him. After trying to calm the situation by saying that I wasn't trying to argue and only wanted to ask for a way to single him out from his work mates. He started to turn around and just speak abuse towards me. I don't know if this is standard for Edinburgh, but from my local area. Any SIA licensed doorman will have an ID on show (armband) and will go out their way to show the customer it on request.(I STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS CLUB IS AVOIDED!, Luckily all other clubs and pubs where friendly and welcoming to outsiders who weren't young and vulnerable)
Great Latino atmosphere with subtle red lighting, tightly packed on popular days, salsa teachers to get you moving Thu-Sat, half-price mojitos Mon-Wed, bouncers who are doing their job properly and friendly barmaids... All this adds up to my favourite club in Edinburgh so far.
Cocktails should be made with sugar and not on glucose syrup, real white rum for mojitos. The music should be real salsa or bachata on which it is possible to dance. Hoping that changes for another time. Security and welcome very well!
Nice music, good to dance. On Saturdays the entrance fee is 6 pounds. Last time I got there I already had some drinks. I paid cash 10 pounds and I thought I was getting back 2 pounds and 2 times 50 cents.. But, I had some drinks, so I assumed it was my own perception. This Saturday I was actually sober and exactly the same happened again.. If the extra pounds go to charity I would give it 5 stars for creativity. But since I don't believe that's the case I only give it only 3 stars for creativity. An advise for the lady at the cashier.. Don't assume everyone who gets in at 02.00 is drunk . Just check is somebody is and only then do the trick. No hard feelings, it's just one pound in the end..
A friend and I were visiting Edinburgh and were excited to find a Latin club in the city! We had gone on a Saturday night and had such an amazing time, not to mention, everyone was super friendly from the bouncers to the bar staff. Sure, the place was crowded but the music selection was great and we had no problems.We had even gone back on Monday night for our last night, and there was still a decent crowd! We'll definitely be back here when we visit Edinburgh again.
