Stramash

You're heading down into the Old Town's guts, past the cobbles and dodgy pubs, when you find yourself at Stramash. It's the sort of place that feels lived-in—sticky floors, low ceilings, and a bar where regulars actually know the staff's names. The real draw? They book proper musicians most nights: touring acts, local folk heroes, the occasional surprise set from someone who just wandered in. You might catch a ceilidh band one night and an indie rock trio the next, all for a couple of quid entry if you're lucky.
