Frankenstein

Frankenstein is a themed bar and late-night venue at 26 George IV Bridge in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Housed in a former 19th-century church, it draws on Mary Shelley’s famous creation throughout the building, with dramatic interiors spread across several levels.

The main bar serves food, beer, spirits, and cocktails, while the downstairs Bier Keller is used for parties and entertainment. The weekly programme can include live sport, quizzes, DJs, and karaoke, with regular sessions in both the main bar and Bier Keller.

Frankenstein is on George IV Bridge in the Old Town, a few minutes from the Royal Mile, Greyfriars, and the National Museum of Scotland. Buses stop nearby on George IV Bridge and South Bridge.
