I was through in edinburgh the other week, went to a place called 'the basement'..food was pretty damn good! didnt stay through all day though so cant really recommend any clubs! i would recommend going on one of the ghost tours though underneath the city!!! spoooky!
Head to the Grassmarket for boozing. Nice vodka car called Koda (I think). Lots more flavoured vodka's then Revolotion. They do shots of absinthe & aftershock and a nice Hubba Bubba cocktail pitcher :groovy: Only been to cheesy type clubs for a night out, Revolotion, Mood Sub-Way & Espionage. Ive been dragged to other places aswell but cant remeber there names. City is a nice club aswell, but it was all RnB when I was there last. Nice totty like The Venue has a monthly techno night called Jak-N. Also Dogam @ Calton Studio's. Colours do party's at The Liquid Rooms Lap Dancing - The Western, cheap & nasty ! Fantasy Palace - A little more upmarket ! There's a mad pub called The Penny Black around near the station & The Venue that opens at 6am. Full of mad characters in there. Once of ma mates was sitting in there alldat drinking Guiness wi Johnny Vegas. Escellent place !
I live in Edinburgh, let me think what I can add to what everyone else has said... Definitely recommend Bar Kohl on George VIth Bridge - Jaffa Cake Cocktail mmmm And there are quite afew good pubs down the Cowgate as well - which leads you to the grassmarket If you are into hard house, check out NuklearPuppy at Ego - it is on Fri 8th October and 29th October. I've had some top nights there theres some good info, especially on places to eat and stuff on www.itchyedinburgh.co.uk
Heh Forgot about Frankensteins. Big Franky comes out at 11 o clock every now and again. never saw him yet. The toilets are trippy as chins. All those mad groaning noises when your having a wee. Pretty scary on a Sunday or Monday morning !
