Reviews
We were taken to our table then given time to relax before being asked for our order. The service was excellent we had a voucher for afternoon tea and the afternoon tea selection was very nice. We were asked if there was any allergies or preferences when the waiter took our order
From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you are well looked after. The staff could not be friendlier or more attentive and the drinks are amazing, compliments go to the bartender. The new cocktail menu is really well-curated and "The Heat" is the tastiest potion I've tried in a while.
Lovely views if you get a window seat but still great without as the building and inside is nice too. Close to Waverley Station and the building itself has a lot of history. High end prices but with that comes a relaxed atmosphere and attentive service. Staff were great and helped with anything that was needed.
We had an excellent afternoon tea here at The Register Club. The room looks to be one of the old bank boardrooms and is a nice place to sit and relax with views over St Andrews Square. The food was very good and there is a good choice of vegetarian or vegan options if required.
I am so glad that the old abandoned building of the Royal Bank of Scotland is now home to this lovely cocktail bar! Had some drinks recently at the Register Club and the place is delightful. Restored to its former glory, now is the perfect place for a drink with a great view over Saint Andrews Square.
