About the venue
Some will know it as Opium, now calling itself Legends. Plays it loud and plays it heavy. Based down in the Cowgate, in an area with clubs aplenty, with a reputation as a late-night, grungey hard rock, goth and metal venue on two floors.
Bars on each floor with a tiny dance floor upstairs that later turns into a sweaty mosh pit.
Cheap drinks, with promos on quieter days of the week, ensure the place is heaving, with a mixed crowd not just those clad in denim, leather, and black mascara.
Being in the Cowgate, means it usually doubles as a Fringe venue for the three weeks of August (e.g. Just the Tonic at Fringe 2024) and PBH Free Fringe in previous years.
Open 8 to late.
