| NME Tour Edinburgh 28/01/06
Obviously I have no idea where anyone lives, or if this topic is even in the right place...
But on saturday me and a friend are coming up from york to edinburgh to see this gig (Arctic Monkeys, Maximo Park, We Are Scientists and The Mystery Jets) and we were wondering if there are any 24 hour pubs in edinburgh because we wont be able to get a train back until 9am sunday morning, which obviously leaves us about 10 hours between the gig and a ticket home...
Any suggestions? |

There isn't. You can hit a pub till 3am, but you'll have at least two hours to kill until the next one opens. I think the Penny Black still opens at 5, and its 2 minutes from the train station. | |

Cheers mate, I'm sure we can manage 2 hours i guess...
Also does the train station close for the night or can people still go in there? | |

The station closes. Give me a ticket and I'll let you stay at my house.

No 24 hours pubs in Scotland (the new licensing laws don't affect us). | |

But you can drink on the streets, providing you're not being anti-social.

Where is the gig?
I don't think the Penny Black opens on Sun mornings anymore, and opens at 6am other days. There is The Old Salt on Leith walk that might be worth a try, early early opening too. | |
