The Stranger Things themed pop-up bar is returning to Edinburgh in June

Prepare for some serious 80s nostalgia, as the Stranger Things pup-up bar comes back to Edinburgh in time for the series' return to Netflix.

The bar will be called The Upside Down - a reference to the alternate reality which the residents of Hawkins, Indiana get caught up in - and it will be in the Pop Up Geeks' premises on East Market Street in the city centre.

It's launching on June 7 and runs until September 1.

Stranger Things returns to Netflix for a third season this July, so you can knock back some appropriately 80s-themed drinks after binge watching the show.

As well as classic 80s cocktails, you'll find their "upside down" alternatives. Presumably they're much darker with the odd monster lurking at the bottom.

The Pop Up Geeks say: "Something strange is coming to Edinburgh... On June 7th, open your curiosity door and join us as we turn 80’s cocktails upside down!

You can stay in this giant Airbnb potato for $200 dollars a night 

"Inspired by Stranger Things, our new menu features a selection of classic 80’s cocktails, their upside down alternatives, hard milkshakes and boozy ice cream floats."

You can book tables to the launch event on their website here.

The Upside Down was last in the city in 2017, during the second season of the Netflix show.
