It's great during the Edfringe festival. Never been there when it's a normal square

The place is absolutely buzzing during the festival. A great place to meet friends or complete strangers with everyone sharing their stories of what shows are good and what shows to avoid. Beers are not too expensive but cost of wine and G+T's are a complete rip off.
