Just in time for party season, Manahatta, the super-glam New York-inspired cocktail bar, is finally landing in Edinburgh this Saturday, 26th October, and it’s set to be the place to be for anyone looking to bring a bit of NYC sparkle to their nights out. Located on Rose Street, this chic new venue will serve up stunning cocktails, delicious bites, and a buzzing atmosphere that keeps going until 2am. Whether you’re planning to dance the night away, indulge in post-work drinks, or just need an excuse to get glam with your friends, Manahatta has got you covered.
A taste of New York in the capital
Occupying two stylish floors, Manahatta’s design pays homage to New York’s iconic art-deco style. The interior feels unmistakably cosmopolitan, with sleek high-arched bars, mirrored disco balls, and bold lighting that wouldn’t be out of place in a downtown Manhattan speakeasy. The vibrant layout creates an atmosphere of effortless elegance—whether you’re indulging in after-work drinks, dancing the night away, or enjoying a chic night out with friends, Manahatta sets the perfect backdrop.
With an elevated DJ booth overlooking a spacious dancefloor, the energy at Manahatta mirrors the electric pace of New York’s nightlife. Every inch of the venue evokes that high-octane big-city buzz, making it the ideal spot for those seeking a glamorous night out with a twist.
All about the drinks…
What’s a New York-inspired bar without its signature cocktails? Manahatta’s menu delivers an impressive selection of drinks, from sophisticated classics to sharers that are designed to steal the show. If you’re after something truly special, the Diamonds are Forever cocktail is a must-try. Served from a giant diamond-shaped vessel, it’s a luxurious mix of Bacardí Carta Blanca, watermelon, kiwi, and soda—perfect for those who love a bit of indulgence with their drinks.
Edinburgh guests can also enjoy an exclusive creation: the Raspberry Shortbread Martini. This drink blends Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret gin with Chambord, gingerbread, raspberry, oat milk, and shortbread for a deliciously unique twist on a martini—bringing a taste of Scotland to Manahatta’s signature offerings.
And with a tempting £7 cocktail deal running Monday through Thursday, your midweek drink plans just got a whole lot more exciting.
Thursday night fun
For music lovers, Manahatta’s LIVE & LOUD Piano Night will quickly become a Thursday night favourite.
