Most fun I had in Edinburgh! Amazing staff, great cocktails and drink selection, and the Church of High Kicks drag show cannot be missed. Special shoutout to Margaret the Magnificent and their MC Violet. Thanks for the amazing time, Queens.

Amazing cocktails! And I've worked in Hospitality all my life, served by Erin! A real asset.

Good: Awesome and super friendly bar staff, free and hilarious shows. Bad: a racist girl and homophobic girls. (Not the bar's fault). I read the reviews and I was a bit hesitant to go. As I walked in, the waiter smiled right at me and welcomed me to the establishment, he was super friendly and nice, I ordered a drink and some food. Everything was super good. I decided to stay for a free show. It was hilarious, clever, very sexy and entertaining, I laughed so much. So the aspects that the bar can control are really good: great service, good food and fun shows. Unfortunately, a girl that was quite drunk turns around (white blond girl if it's relevant, looks at me, opens her purse to check for something and tells me that she thought I had stolen her phone. I asked her why would she say something like that and she looks at me with her dead drunk eyes and tells me that I look dodgee. The bartender told me to just please ignore her. I heard on tv about this subtle racism in the UK and I was shocked. (I'm sorry for the people that endure it all the time). Then at the show everything was fun and giggles, we all were having a great time but then the show had a gay twist to it and a group of girls left right away, the birthday girl was not having it, she was bothered by a gay storyline in a gay bar! By the reviews of this and the other gay bars, there's quite some racism and also some issues with straight girls coming into our safe space and not respecting us. This is not the bar's fault but seems like a bigger issue in Edinburgh. I give the bar 4 stars though, they were very nice to me in every single interaction, I just wish the bartender would've stood up to the racist girl. Koodos for having the funny and clever shows (and for free).

Iconic venue, must visit if you’re in Edinburgh and even slightly gay. Cheap drinks, dance floor is spacious, DJ knows what’s good.

Nice vibe and great setup. Friendly bar keeps. Good beer options. Unfortunately that’s possibly the worst burger of the decade. Completely bland, over cooked, stale dry nothingness inside a raw oversized bun. Food looks good, but it’s not. Just go for drinks. Skip the “food”
