What our guests say...

We decided to have celebration party here following our wedding. The event went perfectly, with excellent food, drinks and atmosphere.
The staff were excellent, efficient and friendly as always. The buffet was also perfect. We had a chat with Alice prior to the event and she ensured all of our needs were catered for including dietary needs for some of the guests. Fully recommend 28 York Place for any events!

I booked 28 York Place for my retirement event. Alice and the team couldn't have been more helpful from the outset. I loved the venue and the overall service was absolutely excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to use this venue again and would highly recommend it.

Bar 28 hosted a birthday/retirement event for me. From the outset they were professional and friendly. Food was great and location fabulous for friends coming from various parts of Scotland. Couldn't rate highly enough!

I had my 21st birthday party here. The space is amazing and the staff were all super helpful and friendly. Alice made planning the event super simple and ensured everything ran smoothly on the night! Would highly recommend.

Great venue for holding events! Central Edinburgh location which is well priced with a friendly team who ensures that no ask is too big! Thank you very much to the York Place team for all the support!

I hosted a party for my 50th birthday at the bar here. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The team were great helping me organise what I wanted and service on the day was excellent. The grazing table was lovely and the space was perfect. Highly recommended!

- Lynne, January 2026

Hosted my husbands 50th birthday here and could not have asked for a better night! Staff were so helpful during the planning stages and on the night our dedicated bar staff were amazing. The attention to detail and additional measures put in place to enable our 'less than mobile' guests to be able to attend were above and beyond what we could have asked. All in all an amazing venue run by wonderful staff in an excellent location.
