The Assembly Rooms Edinburgh reviews by real event-goers

Review of Gin & Rum Festival Edinburgh 2024

Over subscribed / poor food choice / poor sampling measures on some stalls / could have had more stalls available . Could have had some venders selling cans of own product

Not worth the cost

Review of Gin & Rum Festival Edinburgh 2024

Not very well organised, not enough venders so waiting on many queries and very small samples. Would have expected one free token with out £20 tick*t. A bit of a shambles reply.

Review of Gin & Rum Festival Edinburgh 2024

The music was too loud in both rooms, need a larger variety of gins, more space, advertised price of 6.50 per token turned out to be 7 per token, unused tokens can only be used bottles of gin against those of the company and not the independent sellers, lines for samples way too long and almost no where to sit. It cost 18 pounds to enter which gives you a bag, an aluminium glass and aluminium straw and then you pay extra for drinks, except in the sample room where you have to wait up to 20 minutes to get a sample.

Review of Gin & Rum Festival Edinburgh 2024

There were less vendors than last time. However, the live music and plenty of seating was wonderful.
The older members of our group were able to sit and chat while we youngsters went round getting samples for them to try.
The live music gave a fun atmosphere and made the end of the event all the more fun as we got up and danced to our hearts content.
This is my second year coming and I thoroughly enjoyed it, more than last years one.
The only down side was that the tokens were very expensive for the drinks. Not sure where they fit their pricing schedule from but £7 for a gin and lemonade is a bit steep in my honest opinion.
