Lady Libertine is set across two levels: the ground-
floor cafe and wine bar, and basement restaurant
and bar, with a total capacity of 150. The building
was once the Bank of Scotland HQ on St Andrew
Square, but has since been converted into an
elegant and effortlessly cool eating and drinking
establishment, open daily from 9am. This breakfast
through to late night venue provides an unusual
cocktail list, fresh tasty food and stylish relaxed
surroundings. The menu has a strong Greek
influence, led by Executive Chef Nico Ewert, with
nourishing, fresh ingredients including pulses,
exotic spices and slow cooked meats. Feast on
dishes such as harissa hummus, fava bean falafel,
pork souvlaki gyros, lamb shawarma, sabich,
charred cauliflower and baba ganoush. Grab some
mezze to share with friends, a kebab to yourself,
or some bar nibbles to savour with a glass of wine.
CLUB TROPICANA

Tropicana is Edinburgh’s most popular ‘80s
nightclub, as the city’s student and working
population will attest. A remarkably diverse music
policy incorporates everything from pop to rock,
but there is one caveat attached: it has to be
‘80s. Club Tropicana doesn’t just relive the ‘80s
– it celebrates them in some style, with decor to
match the cheesy pop tunes. Student nights are
always raucous, with a large selection of drinks
deals to keep the good times flowing. Frequent
clubbers would do well to pick up a membership
card. Not only are these free, but they promise
free admission on weekends before 11:30pm and
20% off drinks all night. From A-ha to ZZ Top, the
‘80s gave birth to a host of stars and an array of
timeless anthems, the best of which are always
on rotation in the club where time stands still. You
haven’t experienced the decade’s highest highs
until you’ve partied hard at Club Tropicana.
