Love, love, love this place! Ok, ignoring the pretentious staff and select few wanky (can I say that?!) customers. I love the decor, gold mirrors, glitz, comfy banquet seating, luxurious curtains and dim sultry lighting. This place is perfect for that pre-club drink, the music is pumping, the bar is crowded, there is an air of excitement and the drink is flowing - all is fine!
If you are looking for a swanky bar with a touch of class, then here you have it! I usually avoid George Street bars, the ones that seem to attract 'that certain kind of person' just don't do it for me, but 99 Hanover, just seems that little bit different from the rest. The prices are a little on the expensive side, but I'm willing to pay it for that kind of environment. I like the attention to design detail and enjoy the atmosphere. I've even been here for an afternoon cuppa and it's a more chilled vibe, you can get a seat, the music is low so you are able to have a decent gossip!

Read more99 Hanover Street is a fun, chic cocktail bar just off George Street. I've visited a couple of times for nights out with friends and enjoyed myself.

My only reservations are the prices (expensive by Edinburgh standards, though not unusual for the George Street area) and I personally prefer my bars not to be quite so packed (likely an age thing!). But it's still a great place to visit if you want to explore...
Read moreWe had a wonderful experience on Sunday night 03/03/24. I was going for dinner next door with my mum, a christmas present from me to her and a real treat as we never get to do things like this. She was really excited. Prior to our booking we decided to have a few drinks at Superico. My mum got there early and was made to feel extremely looked after and welcome. We had great chat with the bar staff, and one of the staff went so far as to go next door just before our booking and organised a 'surprise' which turned out to be two glasses of fizz for us for free. We were really made to feel VIP, and it left an amazing impression. The next chance I get to bring my mum, or anyone else into Edinburgh for drinks, we'll be going to Superico. Thank you all again so much for making such an effort with us. We...
