About Whole Venue
100 Banquet
150 Standing / Reception
Four distinct seasons under one roof define The Barologist's Whole Venue, where we've transformed 23 Commercial Street into Edinburgh's most meteorologically ambitious celebration space. Picture your guests arriving to find themselves immersed in our Winter Room, complete with a working snow machine that creates gentle indoor snowfall, while thunder rumbles through the Summer section and autumn leaves scatter across another corner of our 150-person capacity venue. We designed this space to accommodate grand celebrations, whether you're planning a wedding reception for 100 seated guests or a standing cocktail party for up to 150. The venue's four seasonal zones each bring their own character, from the planetarium projections in Winter to the thunderstorm effects that roll through Summer. These aren't mere decorations, they're fully operational weather installations that our founder George "Geordie" Armstrong engineered to bring his meteorological passion indoors. Our world-class mixologists, who helped us win Spirit Pub of the Year in 2022, craft weather-themed cocktails at our central bar, which serves as the social hub connecting all four seasonal areas. The kitchen operates from brunch through late evening, combining Scottish ingredients with creative preparations that surprise and delight. Ornate chandeliers illuminate plush seating areas scattered throughout, while vintage artwork and floral accents add warmth to the contemporary furnishings. Technical capabilities include Wi-Fi throughout, multiple flatscreen TVs, a full PA system, projector facilities, and comprehensive air conditioning to ensure comfort regardless of which season your guests explore. Located in Leith with convenient paid parking nearby, our venue brings together historic architectural charm with these unique meteorological features. Whether you're hosting a corporate gathering, wedding celebration, or milestone birthday, your event unfolds across winter snow, summer storms, and everything in between.
