1820 Rooftop Bar & Restaurant Edinburgh, Rooftop bar and restaurant on Princes Street, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
1820 is a modern rooftop restaurant and bar on Princes Street offering panoramic views of Edinburgh Castle and the city center. The space combines contemporary design with comfortable seating and neon lighting throughout.
The building has long stood in Edinburgh's commercial district on Princes Street, with the entrance area originally serving as retail space. The structure was later converted into this elevated dining and drinking establishment.
The restaurant celebrates Scottish whisky heritage through its connection to Johnnie Walker, offering tastings and cuisine inspired by the flavor profiles of four major Scottish distilleries. Visitors can experience this connection directly while dining and drinking.
The venue has a side entrance that provides direct access to the rooftop, bypassing the commercial areas below if needed. Reservations are recommended, especially at weekends, to secure seating with clear views.
The venue has earned three AA Rosette awards for culinary excellence, setting it apart among Edinburgh's rooftop establishments. This recognition reflects the high standard of both cuisine and service.
