Harvey Nichols<\/p>\n
Sitting pretty on St Andrew\u2019s Square right in the heart of town, Harvey Nichols is the unlikely location for one of Edinburgh\u2019s best rooftop bars. This department store spot profits from a fourth-floor position with sweeping views of the city below and offers an extensive drinks menu that spans everything from superfood smoothies and juices through to HN\u2019s own signature cocktails and Champagne. During the week, the team here shuts up shop at 6pm, but if you visit on a Friday or Saturday, the evening rolls on until 10pm, with the atmosphere buzzy and bustling after hours.<\/p>\n
Address<\/strong>: 30-34 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh EH2 2AD Sushisamba<\/p>\n Sometimes a few drinks just won\u2019t cut it, and really what you\u2019re looking for is a rooftop restaurant where you can pair a couple of cocktails with some smart sharing plates. Sushisamba in the W Edinburgh occupies an enviable position on the 10th floor, meaning you get excellent, uninterrupted views of some of Scotland\u2019s finest architecture plus the brand\u2019s signature mix of Japanese and Peruvian food. Ceviche, sushi and grills all make the ideal drinking fodder to go alongside cocktails like a Modern Pisco Sour made with maraschino liqueur and turmeric, shaken up with Japanese citrus and egg whites for a smooth, foamy finish.<\/p>\n
