i'd heard about out of the blue drill hall a few times in terms of a monthly flea market and other local leith events.  however, when i went this past friday for a bavarian beer festival i was seriously not impressed.\n\nthe venue itself is huge!  it's an excellent space and it's clear they've put a lot of work to refurbish it to a nice standard.  the big open hall is probably quite good for a impromptu performance space or a small market with stalls.  however, i did find the hall to be incredibly cold although there were heat lamps dotted about to try to warm things up.\n\nthe bavarian beer festival was just, meh.  i'm not sure if this was organised by the people that run out of the blue but i'm making the assumption that it was as i didn't see any other organiser listed.  there were long tables set up in the middle of the hall giving it a very church supper kind of feel.  there was only one location serving food leading to a massive queue since only one person was taking orders.  additionally while the food was relatively cheap it was of poor quality and i couldn't even eat most of it.  there were two bavarian beers on offer and they ran out of one of them an hour into the event.  the entertainment eventually started and i have to say i was not very entertained but perhaps this was because i was freezing cold and hungry with only beer to try to make things better.\n\nso a very unorganised event that left me not wanting to return to this location for any other event.  so yes very much meh i've experienced better.
