How long as my review of Espionage been brewing? Joe A specifically told me not to review it. It has its own charm! Its own class! Its own sort of appeal!\n\nYes, it has a hot dog stand after 11pm or so. And yes there are several floors with different styles of music so you can mix it up. And yes I did spend a night here, till almost close (2.30am or so) bopping the night away and having a good time. But I think that's largely due to the good group of friends I was with. \n\nThe Nage (that's what I used to call the one up in Aberdeen anyway) is a victim of its own, um, nage-ness. It mainly attracts out-of-towners and stag dos. And Fresher students. A place is really just a sum of all its parts, so if the crowd isn't that great then its not going to be that great a place.\n\nWhen we first walked in, we were pretty much the ONLY women. I kid you not. It was a 'sausage fest' (as a fellow Yelper would describe it). I wasn't intimidated. But then it also smelled REALLY bad. As the night wore on the music was quite good and the drinks were cheap. But its hard to get into a really good going-out get-my-dance-on groove when you're just not feeling the crowd\n\nI WOULD come back here if a good friend was having a special night out and really wanted to get her dance on here. But it's just not my crowed, not my scene. It's free to get in so a cheap night out for a dance. And Edinburgh is lacking a consistently good dancey place. But I'd rather go to night's I know I'm gonna get my boogie on (Green Door, for instance). Sorry Nage, you were fun in the Deen when I was 18, but just not any more.
