Lochrin Rooftop Bar sits atop the Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge Hotel, in the heart of Fountainbridge, one of Edinburgh’s most rapidly developing neighbourhoods. This area blends modern canalside living with the city’s industrial heritage, and is home to offices, cinemas, creative workspaces and a growing number of bars and restaurants. Its central location places it within easy reach of Lothian Road, the Union Canal and the wider West End.
The bar is designed as a stylish rooftop cocktail venue, offering panoramic views across Edinburgh, including sightlines towards Edinburgh Castle and the Pentland Hills. Its interior is described as moody, candlelit and speakeasy-inspired, with deep green and red tones and plush seating that evoke a gentleman’s-club aesthetic. This design pays homage to the area’s industrial past and the historic Lochrin gin distillery, which once operated nearby.
Lochrin’s menu focuses on craft cocktails, particularly those celebrating Scottish whisky and gin, with the bar positioning itself as a place where history and mixology blend seamlessly. Quality spirits are central to the offering, and the drinks list is curated to highlight Scotland’s distilling heritage. Guests can enjoy cocktails indoors or on the heated outdoor terrace, which has become a draw for sunset views and evening drinks.
The venue also serves a selection of bar snacks and light dishes, complementing its drinks-led focus. While the food offering is secondary to the cocktail programme, the overall experience is designed to be atmospheric, intimate and rooted in storytelling around Edinburgh’s past.
With its central Fountainbridge location, skyline views and whisky-focused cocktail menu, Lochrin Rooftop Bar has quickly become one of Edinburgh’s standout rooftop venues, appealing to locals and visitors seeking a stylish setting with a strong sense of place.
