Great place to meet blokes
I had been to the other bars in town, and this one was a bit of a walk, but well worth it. They weren't kidding when they say the late night crowd was out, and the basement dance floor was great! It was 1990 and Madonna played endlessly, in a great mix that the DJ never let up from for a second.
I stayed on the dance floor by myself most of the night, and then met a wonderful married man who was a sailor just in for the weekend, before off to London, where he was from. What a great time we had that night, never to see him or talk to him again, but my stay in Edinburgh will always remind me of this bar, and the encounters you find when you are not looking.
(by the way, I think it was called "the laughing duck" or something like that back then?) Definately worth the effort of finding it.
