st.vincent's travel recommendations

If you like wacky refurbishments and strange theme pubs this is a place not to miss. It is basically a church with a pub based on a Frankenstein theme built inside it. One can only imagine the thought process by which they arrived at this juxtaposition between good and evil, but it works perfectly. Based on three levels, it is quite obviously a church with the pulpit visible behind the main bar where a DJ performs in the evenings. The lower bar has a lifesize display of Frankenstein's monster and the toilets have spooky sounds piped into them. Frankenstein movies are shown on TV's dotted around the bars and there are two big screens used for sporting events. The food is good and service is attentive and friendly. Very popular Friday and Saturday evenings. If you are visiting Edinburgh, search it out and go there, if only for curiosity value.
