I personally think this is one of the best venues edinburgh has for live music - depending on what your favorite style of music is - but the acoustics have never failed to disappoint me - from seeing the Scottish Chamber Ochestra to seeing Richard Hawley - its always been spot on. There is a cheap bar, and friendly helpful staff. Can be quite studenty at times due to the location.
