Departure Lounge

Departure Lounge is a clubnight based at the gorgeous Caves venue, and not a venue itself.
I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!

THE best club night in Edinburgh. Firstly, it’s in The Caves, the very best venue in Edinburgh as they’re amazing c.17 vaults! A UNESCO world heritage site, The Caves have to been seen to be believed. One of the ladies toilet cubicles even has a giant fireplace. What a breath-​taking place! Secondly, there’s the music: it’s this amazing mix of global beats, world music, funk, soul, jazz, house, drum n’ bass, latin… You just can’t help dancing! Thirdly, there’s the crowd it draws, who may or may not usually be drugged up to the eyeballs, but incredibly friendly with it, and you don’t feel at all out of place if you’re not into that sort of thing. The bouncers are a good, friendly lot, too. There are only two difficulties with this night: for one thing, it’s pretty expensive. This is most likely because of the second problem: it’s only on a maximum of once a month, if not less, and you have to check the website or the posters all around Edinburgh to find out when. Once you’re over those hurdles, however, there is no better fun to be had!
