Went to that Game of Thrones theme pop-up bar with work chums last night

Had to wait over an hour to 'get a table'. Getting a table doesn't mean actually getting a table in there. Getting a table means being allowed in the place.

The place was absolutely chokka with gimps and weirdos.

There were people (patrons) in costume.

Two ladies were dressed up as medieval wenches with their big fat boobs flopping about the place

£8 for an utterly rancid rum cocktail that was clearly just shitey rum with something to make it poo coloured.

A few pictures on the walls and a few banners. Game of Thrones on the TV. That was it.

Stunned that a game of thrones bar was heaving with creeps.

Where's that about?

I trust you weren't surprised in the least bit at any of those things, Mags.

It is in the sub-basement of the bar that used to be called Spitfire on Dublin Street. The actual bar at basement level is dece and had some good beers - we had a table there whilst we were waiting. Cant remember what it is called now.

I thought GOT was pretty mainstream so didn't think it would be that bad.

It is mainstream but any normal person is going to avoid it.

The bar is called Daylight Robbery. Same folk have The Safari Lounge at Abbeyhill.

Its been Daylight Robbery for a good 6 + months now.

Only for the past 10 months.

Scott is now a good Muslim so no surprise he doesn't keep up to date with the drinking dens of Edinburgh.

Going to a themed bar and then complaining people are dressed up

Be like turning up at that Gatsby thing last month and wiggoing at all the cunts in period dress.

I was LOLing rather than complaining. But, yes, I was a bit surprised.

Why though? What were you expecting?

People in work clothes or civvies.

Suppose I should have anticipated it but I didn't. I will now know to anticipate it for the next themed event I attend.

Was that place not called Spit/Fire? My old boss went there for someone's leaving drinks and came in the next day absolutely seething at how hipster it was.
