Question The girls want a night out in Edinburgh

as reward for working hard instead of a cash bonus.

So, apart from picking up the hotel & travel tabs, the company is giving them some spending allowances too. They have Fridy & Saturday night there and upto £100 each for 'entertainment'.

Can any of you recommend a few restaurants/pubs/clubs that they should visit? They basically enjoy drinking and dancing. Staggering distance from a taxi rank would be handy!

espionage is a good club
IS IT ****!

You want the Honeycomb (fantastic club), Why Not (club), Opal Lounge (trendy bar, MTV aftershow party was held there), Est Est Est (eats), Bar 38 (trendy bar), Po na na (great club, full of young professionals) and anything else along George Street/East End.

Don't go anywhere near the West End/Grassmarket/Cowgate unless you like townies, burberry and sticky carpets!

eClaire,

You seem to be fairly clued up on the Edinburgh social scene.....

The pubs and clubs you mention, can you tell me more about age group, types of music, exact location etc?

Cheers

On a scale of 1 to 10 (physical entertainment ) there is:

One 10(!), two 9s and an 8.

I doubt your much interested in their personalities

Oh and thanks all, for the suggestions. I'll pass them on.

Mmmm.... sounds fair enough (ish), Guess I've had too many bad experiences with the posh folk in George Street.... personally I cannae see past an evening doon the Sisters (specially while the footie is on) followed by a swing of the pants in City - each to their own eh!

Thomo, the townie!

Had a good night in almost all those places (inc Espionage !!). It's down to the company really ain't it !
I think most of the decent places are covered now at least!
