Welcome to Edinburgh's best nightclub! Since opening our doors as the first nightclub on George Street's back in 1997 we have always endeavoured to be pioneers and continue to lead the way in terms of customer experience in the capital.
With five large cocktail bars, four luxurious dance floor party booths, Edinburgh's biggest outdoor late night garden and Scotland's only full LED room Why Not is the perfect setting for any occasion; birthday, graduation, staff party or just regular nights out.
Since our refurbishment back in 2013 the club efforts have been recognised on a national level with ten awards from various events and sponsored by the likes of Red Bull and Grey Goose to name a few.
We are great believers in innovation and whether its our custom made flashing Flare drinks (LED cups) or our stunning Las Vegas inspired VIP Vault room, there is always something new at our club. We offer a wide range of premium spirits at the best prices in town. We pour with Smirnoff vodka on student nights, Grey Goose on weekends.

Went 2 days before Xmas, far too many crammed into the club, couldn't move, dance, hard to fight Ur way through the crowd to go to the toilet, cigarette etc, 5people deep at the bar. I feel it was all about making money for the club, not managing numbers so we can have a decent night.
Ok so I am quite frequent with this place my previous experiences was amazing but recently what gone wrong with this place management, From past few weeks I am paying entry charges and as I enters in club the same bouncer is always asking me to go out. Even if I am not drunk not troubling anybody still this is happening with me which is really sad things which feels like racism. It is really not good.
Do not go here!!! Paid £15(!) for a ticket to experience awful behaviour from bouncers, staff and people in the club. We saw completely sober people with tickets be refused due to being ‘too drunk’. Was physically harassed by the same guy multiple times in the club and the security staff did nothing despite the guy being pointed out. Bouncers were very aggressive and antagonising to people who had done nothing wrong. To get our bag back from the cloakroom, my friend was told to ‘turn on the waterworks’ by a staff member as the only way to get it back before 4am (which actually worked). Overall the worst clubbing experience of my life!!!
I have a complaint with one of the guards. He hasn't let my friend and I enter the door without any problems for two days. If they don't fix our problem, I will file a complaint. You can check the camera from 22:35 to 22:45. He caused trouble for no reason. Even the other security knew he was a racist and would betray us
I came here for the first time with some locals that know this place and I’ve gotta say this was the best club I’ve been to in the city. I did a few pub crawls and there’s some good bars and clubs in the city but this one’s my fav. I came on a Monday and it was really busy, drinks are super cheap and the music was some of the best I’ve heard. The remixes were awesome. Defo one of the best djs I’ve ever heard in a club and really glad he didn’t play the full songs. Staff were really nice too. Only thing is that it seems to be mostly a young crowd, like a bunch of 18/19 yo, as a 22 yo I felt a bit old. But maybe that’s just the day I went. Overall one of the best clubs I’ve been to.
