About Why Not Nightclub
700 Standing / Reception
Four flights of stairs beneath George Street's grand dome, and suddenly you're in Scotland's only full LED room, where thousands of lights pulse in perfect rhythm with our sound system. We've been Edinburgh's underground party headquarters since 1997, and after winning eleven awards post-refurbishment, we know exactly what makes a night unforgettable. The main dance floor sprawls beneath those LED panels, creating an electric atmosphere where up to 700 guests lose themselves in the music. Our resident DJs command the space from their booth, while four luxurious party areas frame the action. Each booth comes with its own plush tufted seating and dedicated table service, so your group can claim their territory without missing a moment of the party. Book one and you'll skip the queue entirely, heading straight to your reserved spot with bottles already chilling. Five cocktail bars dot the venue, each one staffed by bartenders who know their way around our extensive drinks menu. The longest you'll wait is the time it takes to catch their eye. When you need air, head through to Edinburgh's biggest late-night garden, a proper rarity for the city centre. Giant umbrellas keep the Scottish weather at bay while the garden's own cocktail bar keeps glasses full. On summer nights, it becomes its own party zone. Transport couldn't be simpler with Princes Street's trams and buses just minutes away, plus Edinburgh Waverley station within walking distance. We host everything from birthday blowouts to corporate parties, transforming based on what each night demands. Table bookings include queue jump privileges and dedicated hosts who ensure your bottles keep flowing. The space adapts brilliantly whether you're planning an intimate gathering in the booths or taking over the entire venue.
