The Night Shift A Speakeasy Experience at Below Deck, Rising Tide Cafe The cafe may be closed, but The Night Shift is just beginning. Once a month, the doors close upstairs and a new crew reports for duty Below Deck. Upon arrival, you'll clock in, receive your official Shift Handbook, and be escorted to the hidden Below Deck Quarters for onboarding. Your induction includes a welcome drink and navigation instructions. With the route to the secret bar hatch mapped out you will have everything you'll need to survive your shift. From there, settle into an evening of handcrafted cocktails, great tunes, secret menus and nautical surprises in our intimate basement speakeasy. Expect: • A hidden speakeasy beneath Rising Tide Cafe • A welcome drink included with your ticket • Handy Shift Handbook • A great soundtrack and relaxed vibes • Nautical-themed details • A welcoming, social atmosphere Whether you're gathering with friends, planning a date night, or simply looking for something a little different from the usual Edinburgh night out, The Night Shift offers an experience that's entirely unlike anything upstairs. Places are limited, and once the roster is full, recruitment closes until the next shift. Your Ticket Includes: • Entry to The Night Shift • Clock-in and onboarding experience • One welcome drink • Shift Handbook • Access to a full bar service in the Below Deck basement quarters Report for duty. Recruitment is now open. "Some people finish work when the sun goes down. We prefer to start."
