woody1983 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Looking for bit of advice, done Gorgie Suites hospitality before, but was thinking about trying out either the Sky Lounge or the the Executive European Lounge. What's people thoughts/experiances on each of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Was in the EEL for the Dundee game in October, good food and plenty drink flowing, guest was Ian Black. Had a really good day but we'll probably go back to the Gorgie next time just for Scott Wilson, no slight on the guy who does the EEL it's just he's not Scott Wilson.

Is it just mains you order or 2/3 course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumb Up Emoji Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I think they are all good in different ways Gorgie - for a good day out with your mates. Not stuffy, get to see players chat and some banter with Scott Wilson. Seats you get are behind goals. Not the best imho, but more of an atmosphere in the stands. European - good food, a bit fancier. The chat from host isn't amazing but I prefer the seats you get to the ones in the Gorgie. Bit more of a buzz than say the Skyline. Skyline - really good food and you are really well looked after. It's definitely a lot more formal and there's a lot less of an atmosphere. So it's not really a true 'match day experience'. Much more a really nice meal/wine before taking in the game. So if you want atmosphere, go Gorgie. If you want good food, go to Skyline. If you want somewhere in-between go European.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Don’t forget the ‘lesser’ lounges like the Strongbow. Not costing much at all, but you get the warmth pre, post and half time. You get a wee bit of buffet good and a half time pie. But great seats in the main stand. If they could somehow get the Gorgie experience with Scott Wilson, players etc and put that in the main stand with main stand seats they’d be onto an amazing winner. I do love that experience but to be honest the last few times we’ve avoided it and went for the cheaper ones as I hate not having as good a view as my own seat. I don’t want to waste time travelling between stands just to sit in my own seat either (although would do it if it meant I got money off the hospitality price).

Just a different atmosphere but food and drink service is absolutely first class. I’ve never had a bad experience at any of the lounges and have never witnessed us get beat when in one. Maybe I should goto every home game 😀 Edited January 17, 2022 by Montgomery Brewster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gards Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Heritage is the other lounge not mentioned in the above. Probably ranks between Strongbow and Executive (all three lounges next to each other). Again a buffet food station, cash bar, pies half time etc. Billy Brown is usually the ambassador in that lounge and he's good for a chat and insights. Seats are in Section R of stand so nice and central. Very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the main difference between that one and Strongbow is assigned seats, where Strongbow is find a seat where you can and standing room if you come late. Think you can reserve if disabled or limited movement though. To be honest there’s plenty of seats for most, the ones who end up standing are people coming in 30 mins before kick off when they could’ve showed up hours before.

Kiwidoug Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I can fully recommend the Diggers for pre-match hospitalty. 3 pies and 10 pints of heavy sets you up nicely for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briever Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I was in the Gorgie suite for the Dundee Utd - absolutely brilliant day in and out of the suite - the only small issue was the slow table service, but I imagine that's a tactic when you consider how much could be consumed.

We did the Skyline for a cup game against Dundee United a few seasons ago. I'd go as far as saying a lovely meal/evening interrupted by having to go out and watch the game. For hospitality I'd go Gorgie, for a meal/night out on a non matchday I'd go Skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Stuff 74 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Done hospitality this weekend (European executive suite) thoroughly enjoyed it. A solid 8 out of 10. Venison stew was class (normally an eating is cheating kinda guy as well) and getting to meet my childhood hero Billy Brown was simply bliss. No sure about the schooner instead of pints but jokes on them me drank twice as much. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Louis Valois Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Done the Skyline twice now, it's excellent. You are really well looked after. Only thing it misses in my opinion is maybe an ex player doing the rounds between the tables, like the other lounges. For the money it costs I think it would be a good addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
