This is one of my regulars and overall a student favourite. Situated in 'trendy' George Street, Opal is typical of the clubs in this area. When the VMAs were hosted in Edinburgh's Ocean Terminal, the stars, including Beyonce, supposedly had the after party here. Drinks are reasonably priced, although entry can be expensive depending on which night you go - as with all clubs on George Street, it's worth getting on the guest list. The staff are generally really friendly, although the bouncers can get grouchy by the end of the night - though by 3am drunk people aren't usually the most pleasant customers. I've had some great nights here, all in all it's a great place to go with good company. Girls, watch out, for some reason, Opal tends to attract more than it's fair share of sleaze.
