Ich war während Fringe hier. Die Veranstaltung Family Fortunes (but for bad people) war sehr lustig und klasse. Insgesamt ist es schön, dass die Bar so etwas fördert! Sauwichtig für das Fringe. Dazu gehört auch das passende Ambiente, die Bar und das gute Bier und ganz passabler Service.

Now I'm back from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, I realise how much I miss this place. The staff are outstanding…! Suffering with PTSD, I find it difficult to be comfortable in unknown locations, but here, my assistance dog Hawke and I were beyond at home. I felt safe at all times. Sure, it takes a while to get a drink or food - that's the pace of the Fringe. But you can easily understand why comedians flock to this venue to feel safe, valued and respected. Can't wait for next year so I can return "home" and establish the "embassy". I can wholeheartedly recommend this stunning location of safety and respect.
