Still hungry for more? Breakfast at Mackays on the Mile will sort you right out – open everyday from 9am, the perfect place for a hairy dog… Want to finally perform outside your bedroom? Get over to Whistle Binkies on Monday nights for their legendary Open Mic, sign up from 8pm.  Thirsty? Try Scotland’s most famous cocktail – The Venom.  Legends, Bar Salsa and of course the House of Venom – Subway Cowgate! Get down to Subway Social (next door) to get queue jump wristbands – (you’ll need them!) definitely worth leaving the flat early for. Dreaming of a traditional Scottish Ceilidh but fed up waiting for someone to get married? Head to Stramash every Wednesday for their weekly hoolie. Doors at 7pm, dancing from 9pm, usually heaving so get in early to grab a space. Prefer your music to be performed on technological devices? The Mash House regularly provides beats for discerning dancers, a hidden gem not usually discovered until at least 2nd year. Techno, trance, industrial, garage, rave, drum & bass, and everything in between. PLUS, intimate gigs with future festival headliners. Fancy a big gig? Pop down the stairs to La Belle for big-name touring bands, on the big sound system, on the big bouncy dancefloor. See you down the front.
