WU Asia Pacific has landed in Edinburgh’s New Town at 5 Queen Street, introducing a bold new concept that merges dining, culture and entertainment.
The venue combines Asian grill house, sushi bar, live performance space and late-night lounge, delivering a multi-sensory experience that it says will redefine what a night out can be. Live music, stage lighting and cultural programming are designed to create a guest experience to encourage longer dwell time and deeper engagement to reflect the growing shift in consumer expectations. From 6:30 to 9pm, Temple Hall hosts live performances inspired by Asia-Pacific arts and traditions, followed by weekend DJ sets to extend the venue’s appeal into the late evening.
Working hand-in-hand with landlord the Iona Pub Partnership, WU Asia Pacific is also an example of how operators can create landmark dining destinations. Alan Sayers, Operations Director at Iona Pub Partnership comments, “Bringing WU into such a vibrant Edinburgh location showcases the power of combining bold hospitality concepts with flexible, supportive partners. We’re proud to be part of this journey and look forward to seeing WU Asia Pacific make its mark as a truly elevated venue in the city.”
“Operators like WU represent where the trade is heading,” added Sayers. “There’s a real hunger for venues that go beyond the basics and offer guests something to talk about – and share. We’re proud to be supporting that innovation.”
