The Rat Pack Piano Bar

The Final Bow. 🥂🎹✨

This is it. The very last weekend of the Rat Pack Piano Bar.

We’ve had an incredible run, and we’re going out exactly how we started—with world-class music, a bit of class, and a lot of soul. To make it extra special, we’ve got a powerhouse lineup for you:

🎤 Early Evening: The smooth sounds of Gavin Paul to set the mood.
🎹 The Main Event: The legendary Paul Crompton takes over the keys to carry us through the night.

Whether you’ve been a regular for years or just discovered us, tonight and tomorrow are for you. Come grab a glass, sing at the top of your lungs, and help us say goodbye to the place we’ve called home.

✨ Doors open early. No bookings—first come, first served. ✨

To all of our loyal customers over the years, it is with a heavy heart that we declare after nearly 21 years, The Rat Pack will close its doors on the 5th of April 2026.

Thank you for being part of this amazing journey through some great times, years of road closures, recessions, pandemics and then some more memorable nights, unforgettable times.

As our loyal customers over the years have matured with time, it’s been hard bringing in the new generation of party goers to appreciate the entertainment and what we offer, at the same time it is also very hard to source and have some of the Musicians we have had in the past, maybe it’s just that times change and tastes evolve. So rather than try and sit it out and go through the inevitable pain of survival- as many businesses similar to ours are and have been doing, we would prefer to close with dignity and let some younger blood revive the space.

Everyone in Edinburgh has had a connection at some point with the Rat Pack, we would like to think this will bring a smile to many faces remembering something that made them laugh, our existence was based purely on making sure everyone was entertained.

Our musicians and entertainers were the very best scotland had to offer, some of you may remember some of the very best of them, like, Al James, Marc Mowbray, Jay Faichney, Paul Crompton, Robin , Marc Cole, Gavin Paul, even Callum Beattie for a couple of years, many, many others too which we thank for sharing their talent with us.

We tip our hat to you and thank you for your business over the years.
