The Banshee Labyrinth bills itself as Scotland's most haunted pub — an Edinburgh rock bar set in a labyrinth of dark, vaulted underground chambers beneath Niddry Street, just off the Royal Mile in the Old Town. Across its multiple rooms it runs live bands, comedy, karaoke and even cinema screenings of cult classics late into the night, with themed events spanning metal, punk and alternative rock through to rave. The cavern-like 'Banqueting Hall' live room hosts gigs by touring and local rock and metal acts (listed on Skiddle and Bandsintown), with a full PA and backline available. Open until 3am, it's a distinctive small-capacity grassroots stage in the heart of Edinburgh.
