Studio 24 is one of Edinburgh's 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 attend.\n\nWhen I first moved to Edinburgh I used to visit Studio 24 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 24's busiest night. Throughout the week they have several other themes, but all tend toward various rock, punk, and associated genres.\n\nThe bar isn't fantastic and a little overpriced. But if you're planning on drinking and you're sensible you've probably been to a bar beforehand anyway. One thing I've always liked about Studio 24 are the clean toilets! \n\nI'll always have a soft spot for Studio 24. For someone who feels uncomfortable and out of place in many clubs, Studio 24 offers an alternative atmosphere, one of surprising openness and tolerance, even if half the clientele look like vampires.
