Edinburgh, you ready? 🔥

The Prodigy are in town and we’re keeping things going before AND after the gig 🤘

Get yourself down to Basement for tacos, tequila, tunes and all the pre-show hype, then head back our way after for the afters! 🍸

And rumour has it the trams will be up and running 👀 Even better, the nearest stop is just a 2-minute walk from us. Couldn’t have planned it better.

Birria Tacos have entered the chat 🔥

Slow-cooked beef, loaded into crispy tortillas and served with that all-important consommé for dipping.

Messy? Probably. Worth it? Absolutely.
