Witcher bar in Edinburgh: Pop Up Geeks confirm March opening date for new theme

Fans of the hit Netflix show The Witcher won't have to wait much longer to enjoy drinks inspired by the fantasy series.

The Pop Up Geeks announced earlier this year they would be paying tribute to the monster-hunting show with their next theme.

They have now revealed it will be opening on Friday, March 13 on York Place. It seems there's a monster on the loose on the streets of the capital  and there's a hefty reward for anyone who can slay it.

The Pop Up Geeks said: "Good folk! A monster has been prowling the streets of Edinburgh in the dead of night, gorging itself on the blood of our great city.

"The swordsman who puts an end to it’s rain of terror and brings it’s head to Blood & Wine on York Place will be rewarded generously. The hunt begins 13.03.20."

The TV series stars Henry Cavill playing 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.
