Shanghai Club edinburgh

Went there for salsa dancing lessons and really enjoyed it. The place is not very big but does not get too crowded, which is nice.

Terribly rude members of staff. Refused to play a happy birthday song to my friend and laughed in my face. Also the customer base is a group of spoiled teenagers that parents didn't teach a single 'excuse me'

Drinks are overpriced, venue is way too small and cramped, bouncers are very rude and aggressive would not recommend coming here at all

More of a safari experience than a good club. Don’t go if you’re over 20. It’s a shoddy attempt at a table service bar and no one in here is old enough to earn any money to pay for it. We actually saw a group of ten guys wearing their boarding school high school ties and suits (not as a school disco joke). Lots of puking and wasted 18 year old girls falling in the floor. This means the staff generally don’t have the good service attitude. E.g. if you order a bottle they tell you have to pay for it first and leave the table to basically go get it yourself. Don’t accept Amex. Plastic cups and pitchers of fountain coke and lemonade to go with your £100 bottle of vodka. Classy :)

Overpriced. Far too overpacked for such a small place. Way too dark and very, hot and uncomfortable. Good location and staff fine enough but would not recommend

Great rnb club and great service... even the security staff go above and beyond to give great service. I was there past night and a friend collapsed and needed help getting to the street to be seen by first aid street assist. One ask to the bouncer nearby and 3 of them were there in minutes asking how to help. I'm a medic myself which I told them and despite me having a few drinks they were happy to discuss best options for her with me and work as a team to help her. I've never experienced such amazing caring service from a club security team before and I am so impressed by that. This is a place where you can have a fun amazing night, with great music, a wide selection of drinks at decent prices AND know for sure that the security team will make sure you are safe the whole time. Could not recommend more. Whoever reads this from shanghai please commend your security staff on their fantastic service. 11/10

Not Recommended! Good Ambience but random pricing charged at the bar for the same drink ranging from £5-11 !!! Cross your fingers before ordering!!

Bouncers were inappropriate with the 18 year old girls in our group

Ordered a martini. Classic cocktail you can get literally anywhere on the planet. 3 ingredients. The barman said he didn’t know what it was and used a curse word toward me. I didn’t leave because I was with a large group for a birthday and didn’t want to make a fuss. He attempted to make it and it was an embarrassing attempt. To state the obvious, I’m not going back. Nor would I recommend it for anyone looking for a decent drink. Poser nonsense only. Go to The Dome or the speakeasy off of Rose Street.

Great place to go on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Leading the way in Edinburgh nightlife
