Getting most of the staff and regulars in the same place, at the same time, and relatively sober is a remarkably tricky affair. But we managed it, and nobody got run over whilst nipping across the road to hit the timer on the camera, so ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the minor triumph that is the Blind Poet Class Photo (2011).

The BP is now on Twitter! You can follow us @Blind_Poet or completely ignore it. It’s likely to be the quickest way to get the most up to date news on the pub and the regulars though.

Coming to Edinburgh Uni, Telford, Queen Margaret, Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh College of Art or Napier in September? Well we’ve got a few things planned!
As usual, we’ll have all of the usual big screen sporting events, bands and Karaoke on.
Game of darts? We can manage that too.
Free Wi-Fi while the flat connection is being sorted out? Check!
Our spoken word night, Blind Poetics, continues growing from strength to strength, and we’ll have special deals and giveaways on throughout Fresher’s Week, including our now infamous Fresher’s Packs bundled with T-shirts, special promotions, pens and the all important Super-Noodles – in fact everything you need to keep you alive for the first week.
So pop in, get to know the staff, and you’ll have an invaluable haunt for the next four years. And some mates – we’re all lovely, even The Fraggle, who does try to hide it very well.
(* Caution – Do not feed The Fraggle Jagermeister after midnight….)

The Blind Poet in West Nicolson Street is a little bit different!
Rather than focus on the mainstream like our huge beergardened neighbour (although we do show a lot of live sports etc), we like to focus on things that little bit unusual!
We have events such as Blindpoetics – our spoken word, story telling and poetry night, we also have a huge programme of live music and entertainment and other events such as being a home to the ragged university – a free for all programme of free education, we give talks and informed lectures on a huge variety of subjects.
We would like to be able to offer the right societies use of our venue as a meeting place, a place to put on talks, hold events and fundraisers and free use of our stage to promote the societies.
We have held international interactive talks and meetings shown live on our big screen and are open for ideas from all avenues.
We have a small pot put aside for societies to get uniforms, pay fees, offer discounts, hold events, etc. Just let us know what you fancy and we can see
what we can do!
Pop in and ask for George, or give us a call on 0131 6674268.
