Went to see the weekly Comedy Show here in mid-Jan. It's a perfect place for a comedy gig - feels intimate with a really amazing atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful, and drinks very reasonable. Great show with hilarious acts too. Great night!

Fully enjoyed our evening at the Spirit of Scotland show. The food was exquisite offering a choice of Scottish dishes from fresh salmon, pork belly and scottish beef. It was good to see our wine glasses being replenished regularly through the meal with a choice of quality white and red wine. The entertainment offered a taste of traditional Scottish music accompanied by an excellent accordionist, fiddler and piper, expertly hosted by the talented Bruce Davis. The AV presentations were spectacular and beautiful and ovocative images of Edinburgh and Scotland set to the haunting "Outlander" melody the sky boat song and By Yon Bonny Banks. The highlight of the evening however were the superlative scottish dancers, spinning and dancing jigs and reels and the highly dangerous sword dance. All in a all a memorable evening in Edinburgh. Highly recommend.
