Alchemist | St James Quarter

https://thealchemistbars.com/venues/edinburgh-st-james/

401-403 St James Square, EH1 3AD

Venue Description

You’ll find us ensconced on the fourth floor of the St James Quarter - Edinburgh's contemporary retail and lifestyle district. With a 170-capacity bar and restaurant, we will be offering our 30-seater all-weather terrace as a Fringe space for any interested Acts. The terrace itself enjoys views onto Register Square - which boasts phenomenal daily footfall - and comes equipped with heaters, tables, chairs and mood-lighting in the evening.

Venue Programming

The terrace does not have a stage, therefore we believe the space would be better suited to solo or duo acts with minimal set-up requirements/props. While there may be noise spilling over from the bar, we can arrange to link the terrace speakers to any amps/microphones as necessary. Ideally, we'd be looking to arrange a ticket-split, but are open to discussions.
