Where Rugby Meets Whisky: Bonnie & Wild Launches Six Nations Hospitality Clubhouse
Edinburgh’s much-loved food hall Bonnie & Wild is raising a glass to rugby season, teaming up with iconic whisky brand The Famous Grouse for a standout hospitality experience during the Guinness Six Nations.
As the championship kicks off in style — beginning with France taking on Ireland at the legendary Stade de France — Bonnie & Wild becomes the official home of The Famous Grouse’s Guinness Six Nations Hospitality Clubhouse in Edinburgh.
Rugby, whisky and front-row atmosphere
At the heart of the partnership is Bonnie & Wild’s brand-new state-of-the-art LED screen, bringing every Scotland match to life in the city centre — starting with Scotland’s clash against Italy at Stadio Olimpico.
For those without golden tickets to Scottish Gas Murrayfield, this is shaping up to be the ultimate matchday destination — combining big-game energy with some of the capital’s best food and drink under one roof.
Signature cocktails with a sporting twist
Throughout the tournament, guests can sip their way through a dedicated Famous Grouse bar, featuring bespoke whisky cocktails created especially for the championship.
Expect playful, rugby-inspired pours including The Scrum-Half’s Reserve and The Famous No 9, designed to spotlight the iconic Scotch while complementing Bonnie & Wild’s innovative cocktail list — which also includes an impressive selection of low and no-alcohol options.
In Conversation with rugby royalty
Adding an extra layer of excitement are two exclusive “In Conversation” events hosted at the food hall, featuring former Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw alongside broadcaster and presenter Caroline Blair.
The intimate talks will dive into Laidlaw’s career highs, life in professional rugby and reflections on the current tournament — all accompanied, naturally, by a dram or two.
The first event follows Scotland’s much-anticipated clash with England (expect lively debate), while the second on 12 March will reflect on the championship as a whole, with eyes already turning towards the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
A celebration of Scottish spirit
Bonnie & Wild’s General Manager Kate Russell says the partnership feels like a natural fit.
With long-standing ties to Scottish rugby and a passion for championing local food and drink, the venue is perfectly placed to bring fans together for unforgettable matchday moments — combining atmosphere, hospitality and a true taste of Scotland.
For The Famous Grouse, the collaboration continues a decades-long connection with rugby culture, focused on camaraderie, shared experiences and celebrating the moments that bring people together.
Where rugby meets great food and drink
From big-screen drama to expertly mixed whisky cocktails and behind-the-scenes stories from the game’s greats, Bonnie & Wild’s Guinness Six Nations Hospitality Clubhouse promises to be one of Edinburgh’s hottest sporting hangouts this season.
Whether you’re a die-hard rugby fan or simply love soaking up the buzz with great food in hand, this is one matchday experience not to miss.
