   Opal Tuesday was quite expensive and had a poor atmosphere. Music is nothing unique or special. The crowd was made up of very drunk adults who all seem desperate to pull and their drinks, which were glass bottles, ended up smashed all over the floor too which is incredibly dangerous. Easily the worst night out I've ever had, not particularly happy with having to pull tiny shards of glass out of my hand for about a week. Another girl I was with also ended up with nasty cuts on her leg. Glasses / drinks also seem unsanitary. I urge you not to visit this place, especially considering the wide range of quality nights out available in Edinburgh.

   They claim to have an excellent selection of keg beers however all their keg lines taste purely of off yeast because they mustn't have been cleaned in months. Not only is this unhygienic, it's unsafe because it could easily make people ill. Would not recommend as they obviously have no regard for the welfare of their customers.

   Really poor service and unfriendly bar staff. I've been ignored and passed thrice over, I started befriending other customers on my stupidly long wait. The drinks are also over priced which just adds to the terrible time. Cannot imagine a worse night out in Edinburgh.

   Just been to opal 16 of us paid £20 each for a table and drinks 1 week in advanced. Arrive to shocking service, get to our "table" to find out it's 2 tiny tables and 4 cube chairs for 16 PEOPLE! We get our mixer juice eg coke 30 mins after sitting and leave before our alcohol could arrive. Baring in mind this all should have been there for us arriving as we had gave the hostess plenty of notice. Absolutely atrocious service and didn't look as if they were bothered about losing money.

   An unpleasant clubbing experience. From the rude bouncers doing their best to look intimidating, to the high price of entry and drinks, to the general feeling of being herded in like cattle; there is very little to recommend here. Even when full the place lacks atmosphere, and the slow service, combined with a narrow bar area, only helps to reinforce the sensation of being crammed in like sardines. As an aside, I was once here a couple of years ago and took a swig from my drink, only to find a piece of broken glass at the bottom. I'm sure this was an isolated case, but it was alarming to say the least. I usually try to avoid giving one star reviews, as they often seem unnecessarily harsh, but unfortunately this is one of the rare places that deserves it. One to avoid.
