We didn't eat at the venue but reserved an area for cocktails and the Drag acts. Music was brilliant and the cocktails were lush but in 3 hours there we see 1 drag act perform to two songs which was disappointing.

Casablanca is always a fun and lively place for cocktails. The drag acts are excellent and the staff are on it - they make sure you are never without a drink. I would highly recommend. It The prices are very standard for Edinburgh but the overall experience is well worth it.

Would really recommend the show. Our table was booked for 9:30pm. Had a great central view. Performances were great. Music sets were fun and lively. Service was great. Decor of the bar and even the bathroom was lovely. Didn’t eat so can’t comment on any food.

We went to Casablanca for Saturday night drag entertainment! We were not disappointed. Between the acts that performed across the floor of the bar was music (DJ style) which really got the crowd going! Donatellas were fantastic, so entertaining!! Great range of cocktails and drinks on offer, I asked for a drink that wasn’t on the menu and the staff made it happen! It’s clean, tidy, it’s very cool inside! Toilet seats in the ladies need some attention. Overall a brilliant night, will definitely be back!!

Fabulous Night!!! I booked the dontella night for my sisters 30th and brought my sisters Aunty and mum. Such a fun night and the acts were sensational! Such a good vibe with a boujee selection of drinks to match the venue! Cannot recommend enough! The owner Mike was lovely and welcoming, so nice to have that ownership presence and the staff were amazing! We will definitely be back! :)

Well where do I start. This is one of those amazing venues that is a hidden gem! The main hosts Fanny and Amy create a phenomenal atmosphere and a platform for drag that is not to be missed. The service is exceptional and all the staff are a credit to this venue! It has become a firm favourite and needs to visited if in Edinburgh! Much Love xoxo

Beautiful inside. Door staff super friendly. Super crowded inside, they sat us next to a party of 4 Hens that were so close to us It was uncomfortable. The room was filled with Hen Parties and as loud as the music was, I could still hear them cackling away… we sat there for 15 minutes, no one showed up to take our order. We finally left without trying anything. The room was gorgeous. We were Happy to find a couple other lovely bars in that area. Thanks to the lovely door lady for being so nice! The rest was a waste of time.

We had pre dinner cocktails here (no food) so we had an early eve reservation. Beautiful venue, feels very opulent and the staff are welcoming and attentive. We weren't sure if they would do a show that early in the eve, but the girls didn't disappoint! Will definitely come back, and will try a late booking to get a different perspective!
