W Edinburgh’s rooftop bar W Deck reopens for spring with new seasonal menus and live music

W Deck, the standout rooftop bar on the 12th floor of five-star W Edinburgh, officially reopens on Friday 10th April. Sitting high above the city as Edinburgh’s only 360-degree rooftop bar, W Deck’s expansive terrace offers panoramic views spanning Calton Hill, Edinburgh Castle and the historic spires of Scotland’s capital (on a clear day you’ll also catch a glimpse of the Forth bridges).

Open throughout spring and summer, W Deck is Edinburgh’s only open-air rooftop bar with a fully circular outlook in the heart of the city. Sun-washed afternoons roll seamlessly into long sunsets in a designed setting that feels relaxed yet elevated, offering understated luxury high above the city.

The new drinks menu has been curated with long afternoons and golden hour sunsets in mind. Signature cocktails include Spicy Margaritas, Espresso Martinis and Hugo Spritzes alongside an impressive wine selection. From Laurent-Perrier Champagne and Côtes de Provence rosé to Argentinian Malbecs and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, there’s something for every palate. Local character is reflected in draught serves, including Edinburgh’s own Cold Town Lager and Arthur’s Apple cider. 

W Deck’s refreshed seasonal menu pairs Scottish provenance with global flavours, designed for rooftop dining. Expect Cumbrae oysters with passionfruit and chilli mignonette, Eyemouth crab with mango and chilli on brioche or Oscietra sturgeon caviar served with truffle crisps and finger lime. Alongside the seafood, pinchos range from dry-aged Highland beef with wasabi mayo to Ibérico ham with manchego and Edinburgh honey on sourdough.

On sunny Friday nights, W Sunset Sessions will host a new calendar of live music which will see regular DJ sets from W Edinburgh’s pick of the very best up-and-coming homegrown talent. Hosted on the W Deck from 8pm to 11pm (weather-permitting), find sun-washed afternoons that ease into golden hour against the backdrop of Edinburgh’s skyline. 

W Deck reservations are now open at W Deck Rooftop from Friday to Sunday, 12 noon to sunset (weather-dependent). On weekdays, the terrace remains open for general viewing, with drinks served from the W Lounge below. Visit wloungeedinburgh.com/w-deck or follow @wedinburgh on Instagram for more info
