What reviewers say

Afterdark Edinburgh holds a 4.6 average on Google Maps across 38 reviews, with topic clusters foregrounding friendly staff, social atmosphere, and cleanliness as the dominant positives. Reviewers consistently frame the club as a safe, welcoming space oriented toward socialising and making new connections, several contrasting it favourably with pubs and noting the consent-aware culture eases first-time visitors in comfortably.

The most recurring friction point is temperature: the venue occupies an industrial unit and runs noticeably cold, prompting at least one reviewer to keep a jacket on all evening while also wishing for better music. A minority find the utilitarian setting — bare white walls, vinyl flooring — short on atmosphere, though the large majority appear to value the social experience far above the decor.

About

AfterDark is Edinburgh's largest private members adult lifestyle club, established in 2022 and operating from a converted warehouse unit at Bankhead Workspace in the Sighthill area — previously known as After Eight at a smaller venue before rebranding and relocating to its current premises. The spacious social lounge serves as the central hub, with atmospheric lighting setting the tone for the evening. Surrounding it are dedicated play spaces of varying sizes — from intimate private rooms with doors to open play areas — plus a dungeon and BDSM area and a glory hole. Lockers are provided at the entrance for phones and belongings, and changing rooms with showers and mirrors are available. Towels, condoms, and lubricant are provided throughout. Afterdark operates BYOB for alcohol; soft drinks and snacks are available via a token system at the venue. The club runs a varied weekly schedule: Wednesday midweek sessions (8pm–1am) at reduced entry prices, Friday and Saturday main nights (9pm–3am), and select Thursday evenings (bi-weekly) featuring TV/CD/Bi & Admirers nights, quiz nights, and rope classes. Themed events rotate regularly — lingerie nights, UV parties, wrestling themes, couples-only evenings, and seasonal celebrations. Standard entry is £10 for single females, £20 for TV guests, £35 for couples, and £40 for single males; Wednesday prices are reduced across all tiers. Annual membership is £20 flat rate (singles or couples), arranged on the first visit. First-timers receive a guided tour from staff; many guests attend simply to socialise without participating in play.
