In partnership with Manahatta

Get ready to experience a taste of the Big Apple in Scotland's capital, as Manahatta Edinburgh launches.

Located on Rose Street in the heart of Edinburgh, Manahatta is set to become a must-visit destination for cocktail enthusiasts and nightlife lovers alike. Spanning two floors, this chic new bar offers a dynamic, stylish space with a New York-inspired vibe, perfect for everything from festive catch-ups to weekend celebrations.

Housed in the back of the former BHS department store, Manahatta's striking design pays homage to New York’s iconic style. Think art-deco-inspired arched back bars, bold lighting, and a mirrored disco ball that sets the tone for a party-ready atmosphere. The venue, covering 380 sq m, channels the vibrant energy of NYC’s nightlife, bringing a touch of Big Apple glitz to Edinburgh’s bustling bar scene.

Martin Wolstencroft, CEO of Arc Inspirations, shares: “Edinburgh is the perfect city for our debut in Scotland, and we’re thrilled to bring our new interior design concept to this vibrant location. With a significant investment, we’re offering a unique nightlife experience that captures the essence of New York right here in Scotland’s capital.”

Indulgent Cocktails & Dynamic Events

Manahatta’s cocktail menu is a journey through New York’s boroughs, featuring signature drinks like the Supersized Pornstar Martini and the 'Diamonds Are Forever' sharer, served in a giant diamond. Cocktails start at just £7 (Mon-Thur), making it an ideal spot for after-work drinks or weekend celebrations.

But the fun doesn't stop there—Manahatta’s events calendar is packed with must-attend nights. The 'Live & Loud' piano night every Thursday brings live music to the venue, where guests can request their favourite songs for a unique, interactive experience. Meanwhile, the DJ booth keeps the energy high, overlooking the dancefloor to ensure the party atmosphere lasts all night.

Bottomless Brunch & NY-Inspired Bites

For those who love to pair their drinks with delicious food, Manahatta offers a New York-inspired menu, from the classic NY Club Bagel to bao buns and Karaage Chicken Bowls. And don't miss the bottomless brunch—available for £34.95, it includes six drinks and a choice of dishes, perfect for those leisurely afternoons that turn into vibrant evenings.
