Witcher bar coming to Edinburgh as Pop Up Geeks tease new theme

The Pop Up Geeks famously set up a Game of Thrones-themed bar in Edinburgh, and now it seems they're paying tribute to another fantasy series.

The Witcher is set to be the next theme for the pub, according to posts on social media from the Geeks.

The TV series starring a monster-hunting Henry Cavill was released on Netflix last month and has proved popular with viewers, reportedly overtaking The Mandalorian as the most-streamed show.

Cavil plays Geralt of Rivia, the fearsome character first created by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. His novels were turned into an acclaimed video game franchise before being picked up by the streaming giant.

The Pop Up Geeks have revealed few details about their Witcher bar, but on Sunday they released a teaser video showing logos which will will be familiar to fans of the video games.

Using the Witcher and White Wolf hashtags, they said: "Toss a coin for another sneak peak! Blood, Wine & Monsters."

While a date for the launch of Blood, Wind and Monsters has not been set yet, they are hosting a Star Wars-themed pop-up until the end of January.
