Välkommen till Akva – a Swedish Bar, Cafe & Venue!

Akva is a Swedish owned and inspired restaurant & bar with funky events, live music, great food, wide selection of beers, wines and delicious cocktails. Our relaxed set up is perfect for birthdays, retirement & office parties, weddings, engagement celebrations, quizzes and for so much more!
Akva’s name is inspired by the water along Union canal and to be honest by Akvavit – the Swedish water of life that we love to drink. We have a great beer garden – when the sun is shining in Edinburgh, there really isn’t a better place to be.

Get in touch with our events team to book a table, space or our entire mezzanine level for up to 300 guests!
