Can anyone recommend a good late bar or club in Edinburgh on a Friday night? Going there for the work crimbo party and looking for something to do after food.
Will award lovely rep to those who can help.

Thanks!

Pivo - really central, feckin class music and great beer/staff. All this and open til 3am - you can't go wrong!

Spent a night in there chatting to a former member of the fall (kenny something?), then ended up at the wrap party for grand theft auto san andreas (rockstar games is just beside it).

hhmmnn depends what you are in the mood for
Pivo is great though it is small.. lovely czech beers.. v trendy crowd..
its one of my fave bars definitely..

the Wash on the Mound is pretty cool for a few pre club beers.. clockwork orange decor nice tunes, open lateish i think

liquid rooms on victoria st have a wicked indie night every friday .. i go every time i go to edinburgh and i want to have a boogie with a few folk
its just a great great venue and great fun

mind you i always go to pivo too.

for 5 floors of meat market disco debauchery go to espionage.. also on
victoria street .. it stays open later than most places so you might find yourself there for that reason alone.. not for the discerning music fan though just for those who want to get drunk and maybe snog

ooohh im off there again in january and i cannae wait..

do check out the view from calton hill to clear your hangover.. simply awesome!!

The Pond is a really nice pub. it's a bit in the sticks - best get a taxi - but it's shit cool and deadly selection of beers, snacks, board games, 'oul space invader machines and a nice beer graden.

in town, pivo is good but can be wedged. stay away from the grassmarket cos all the pubs there are pretty shit.

ditto on calton hill view. but if your feeling healthy go climb arthur's seat.

yeah Espionage is good on the meat market front, if you get 2beers on each of the five floors you get a free t-shirt

edinbburgh rules, Peppermint club is great but i think theyve changed location since the big fire
Enjoy

brass monkey or medina

if either of them are still there(been 3 years since i was in edinburgh)
brass monkey has a room with loadsa cushions on the ground and you just lie around the place.medina similar setup.really nice bars.

maybe bongo club for a club.think its near the train station

I lived there about 8 years ago and there were a couple of really deadly buzz hostels off the Royal Mile- High Street Hostel and Castle Street Hostel.

DO NOT FORGET TO GO TO THE BAKED POTATO SHOP

It's on cockburn st (you'd like that you dirty bitch, but it's pronounced coe-burn). Just off the Royal Mile. It's only the best eatery I've been to in the world. Please smuggle some home for me.

if you can even afford it for just one night, try and stay in the Scotsman hotel. holy shit, but it's terribly fancy. and deadly!

Hmmmmm 250 sterling minimum...........swanky though!

Jekyl & Hyde's is great!
Cool dark decor, 'hidden' bathrooms in trick bookcases, cocktail specials of the seven deadly sins

 

[paula]

does anyone have anymore accommodation recommendations they'd like to make? i've found some cheap flights for august but it's festival season so a lot of places are booked up and what's left that i can find is a bit expensive for my tight budget.
