About The Thistle
50 Standing / Reception
Three championship dartboards line the walls of The Thistle, our semi-private space that brings together up to 50 guests for celebrations that feel both intimate and electric. Dark leather benches curve around wooden tables where groups gather between rounds of Social Darts, while overhead, strings of fairground lights cast a warm glow across vintage photographs and artwork that give the room its distinctive character. We've designed The Thistle to work brilliantly for birthday parties, hen dos, and those competitive team celebrations where colleagues transform into dart champions. The space flows naturally, with each of the three playing areas offering comfortable seating where spectators can cheer on their teammates while keeping drinks and sharing platters within easy reach. Natural light pours through large windows during afternoon parties, shifting to a more atmospheric feel as evening events kick into gear. Our full-service bar sits just steps away, meaning fresh cocktails and hot pizzas arrive quickly without interrupting the flow of games. The sound system keeps energy levels high, while air conditioning ensures comfort even when competition heats up. Wi-Fi runs throughout for those inevitable social media moments when someone hits that perfect bullseye. The vintage photographs and eclectic artwork scattered across the walls become conversation pieces between games, particularly the collection of Edinburgh memorabilia that catches everyone's attention. Combined with the fairground lighting and that inviting "Let the Fun Begin" sign visible from the bar area, The Thistle creates an atmosphere where formal events naturally evolve into proper parties. Just four minutes from Edinburgh Waverley station on Level 3 of St James Quarter, The Thistle offers all the excitement of our main venue with the added benefit of having your own dedicated space where your group can celebrate without restraint.
