Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood
New Town, St Andrew Square

Lady Libertine takes private events from a table of 12 up to a whole floor. A private dining room and a mezzanine each seat up to 12 guests, and the full Restaurant & Bar or the Café Bar can be booked for larger drinks receptions. The venue is a cocktail bar and restaurant at 25 West Register Street in Edinburgh's New Town.

Seminars and company events

The venue sells private events and drinks receptions, and its Events Team prepares a tailored proposal for larger bookings. For a client dinner or a small team meal, the Vault and the Mezzanine are the two options. For a reception, you can take over the entire Restaurant & Bar or screen off the Café Bar for a standing event overlooking St Andrew Square.

The official site does not describe meeting rooms, presentation equipment or day formats, and it gives no capacity for the larger hires. This is a place for dinners, receptions and evening gatherings. Ask the team how many guests a full-floor booking holds before you build a guest list.

Weddings and receptions

Weddings are not listed on the official site. Drinks receptions and private celebrations are, so a small post-ceremony drinks reception or an engagement dinner fits what the venue states it offers. Confirm with the team before planning anything larger.

Rooms and capacities

There are two floors. The ground-floor Café Bar looks onto St Andrew Square and is open from mid-morning to late evening. The basement holds the Restaurant & Bar, a subterranean space with a more intimate, low-lit feel.

The Mezzanine overlooks the Restaurant & Bar and takes parties of up to 12. The Vault is the private space: by day a cocktail lounge, and on request an exclusive dining room for up to 12, with a private bar if you ask for it. Whole-floor hires are arranged case by case through a bespoke proposal.

Catering

A Group Menu of crowd-pleasing dishes is offered for private dining, and canapés are available for receptions. The private bar comes with a team of bartenders, so a cocktail-led evening can be built around it. Cocktails are the venue's specialty, and it also serves brunch and dinner at its normal opening hours.

History and setting

The site is the cocktail bar and restaurant of an Edinburgh hotel group, and its events email on the official page points to the Edinburgh Grand team. The setting is the New Town, on the corner of St Andrew Square, a short walk from the main shopping streets.

Getting there

The address is 25 West Register Street, Edinburgh EH2 2AA, in the city centre. The venue is close to Edinburgh Waverley station, so a group arriving by rail can walk. For event requests, the Events Team handles proposals.
