Game of Thrones bar to open in Edinburgh

Events company Geek Social is set to launch pop-up bar Blood & Wine in Edinburgh, inspired by the hit HBO series Game of Thrones.

Opening on 4 January, Blood & Wine is located in the cellar of Daylight Robbery bar on Dublin Street every Wednesday and Thursday throughout January.

Decorated with props provided by swords retailer The Knights Vault in Edinburgh, the tavern will also offer wines, ales and spirits found in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series, which inspired the critically-acclaimed show.

Geek Social has also collaborated with Royal Mile Whiskies to offer a range of whiskies, as well as offering a Wines of Westeros wine tasting flight.

Drinks on offer include the Arbor Gold, The Imp’s Delight, the Old Bears Hot Spiced Wine and Black Tar Rum.
Geek Social also has plans to unveil more pop-ups inspired by popular television shows and books including Harry Potter, Stranger Things and Walking Dead.

In July this year, Game of Thrones actor and professional strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson launched his own brand of Icelandic vodka.
