Black Ivy is more than just a stylish bar and restaurant - it’s a full-blown neighbourhood hangout with boutique bedrooms, a buzzing terrace and its very own Drafthouse bar, all set in the heart of Edinburgh’s Bruntsfield. Whether you're popping in for coffee, cocktails or a celebratory meal, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and effortlessly cool. Velvet banquettes, vintage chandeliers, and reclaimed wooden floors give the space a distinctive charm, while the leafy terrace overlooking the Links is a much-loved spot for al fresco drinks all year round.
For those looking to host something a little more private, Black Ivy offers an exceptional space in its luxurious Clubroom. This elegant setting is perfect for dinner parties, birthday celebrations, baby showers, or even sports-viewing events, with seating for up to 40 guests for a sit-down meal or 60 for drinks and canapés. With gorgeous park views, plush leather seating and an exclusive feel, it’s a space designed to impress. Better still, with boutique bedrooms located just upstairs, guests can easily make a night of it - ideal for out-of-town visitors, special occasions, or simply not having to worry about the journey home.
Dining at Black Ivy is all about relaxed indulgence. The menu champions classic comfort food with a few gourmet twists - think wild mushroom tacos, crispy chicken wings or haggis bon bons to start, followed by hearty mains like steak pie and chips, teriyaki salmon or a rich, three-cheese macaroni. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options too, along with indulgent burgers, fresh salads and a cracking dessert menu. If you’re hosting a larger group, the team can offer tailored menus, drinks packages, or buffet-style spreads depending on the vibe you’re after.
Conveniently located just a short walk from Edinburgh city centre and right next to the open green space of The Meadows, Black Ivy’s Bruntsfield location offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a lively celebration, the private dining options at Black Ivy make it easy to host in style, with everything you need, all under one roof.
