Well it’s that time of year again, the festival has begun, and what better place to spend it than in the Spiegeltent. Called ‘Assembly’ this year for no apparent reason (though if you’re actually interested why you can read this Fringe report), it is still the Spiegeltent of old; where festival goers and performers alike can congregate for a drink in one large beer tent. Some may say that sitting on patio furniture, on AstroTurf, drinking out of plastic glasses isn’t really worth the fairly extortionate prices they charge. However, this is the hub of the festival, and much like if you haven’t been to Espionage you haven’t been to Edinburgh, if you haven’t drank in the Spiegeltent you haven’t been to the festival!
Tip: While you’re at the Spiegeltent, order a Jägerbomb. They come in a neatly designed plastic glass which has clearly been designed only for this drink. Also be prepared for massive queues at the bar.
