Lulu

The place to see and be seen, Lulu is one of George Street’s favourite late night bars for Edinburgh’s young and upwardly mobile. The decadent oversized roses on a black background that paper the walls as you enter set the tone for the rest of the night.

Everything is larger than life – the 70s-style disco-light dancefloor, the boys in suits drinking champagne, the fake breasts...and your bar tab. Lulu offers some eye-wateringly expensive table packages, complete with VIP queue-jump.

However, if you’re willing to forgo the dubious pleasure of being a VIP you can simply pay the £8 door charge to enter with the rest of the common folk. Lulu makes for an entertaining night out – if perhaps only for the people watching.
