FringeGuru's review of this venue

One of the Fringe's weirder venues - in a (relatively) good way - City Edinburgh sports all the clichés of a nightclub: chrome, oddly-coloured lighting, lots and lots of split levels and, yes, a mirrorball. But they don't let this constrain their programme, which in 2007 even dropped an old-style big band into this most modern of settings.

The cabaret-style tables in front of the stage work best; the booths on the level above have a rather cramped view. Some prefer to stay at the bar and watch from the rail facing the stage. Overall, this is a chilled-out, pleasant venue, where the performers are friendly and it really is OK to get up and go to the bar in the middle of a show.

Eating and drinking at this venue

The bar at the back, within easy sight and earshot of the stage, stays open for the whole performance. For such a large bar the selection's a little disappointing, though, concentrating mainly on draught lagers.
