We happened upon this bar by chance, and got there just in time for the 9.30pm band the Three Wise Monkeys and they were fantastic. Drinks were reasonable, venue was spacious enough, toilets were in a weird place and needed some TLC but overall was a great night.

Great little venue, got to see some great bands play. Great location as well. Good drinks. If you’re looking to find new bands or just wanting to listen to some good music it’ll be worth checking this place out.

I don't know if they had food. But they had great drinks, vibes, and live music. Great band tonight.

Been coming in on and off for a while. Great selection of drinks, quick service, staff seem nice. Always good if you fancy some live music. Not a fan of the toilets though!

Legendary gig venue in Edinburgh. Bands on most night with a big variation in music styles. PA is great so should is always superb.
