text: Studio is one of Edinburghs premier alternative night clubs Set on two floors each with its own bar and nightclub its not actually the biggest club given the numbers that can attendnnWhen I first moved to Edinburgh I used to visit Studio with friends on a Saturday night for their Retribution night which features more classic rock and heavy metal than anything else but still a range of rock in between This is probably Studio s busiest night Throughout the week they have several other themes but all tend toward various rock punk and associated genresnnThe bar is not fantastic and a little overpriced But if you are planning on drinking and you are sensible you have probably been to a bar beforehand anyway One thing I have always liked about Studio are the clean toilets nnIll always have a soft spot for Studio For someone who feels uncomfortable and out of place in many clubs Studio offers an alternative atmosphere one of surprising openness and tolerance even if half the clientele look like vampires
