A VIP launch night was held on Thursday, October 30, with invited guest enjoying the tunes and cocktails all night in luxury surroundings.

Inspired by Japan’s celebrated Jazz Kissa culture, where people go specifically to listen carefully to jazz records, the Caley Bar translates the spirit of those intimate listening spaces into a distinctly Edinburgh setting.
