Neil called it a "Decent wee place", David raved over the lower floors saying "If you like dungeons, you'll love this place" and Kristain said that it was "worth staying".Espionage, your favourite local Edinburgh club and karaoke hotspot, is unfortunately closing next week.

"Espionage is where memories were made and many drinks were drank."

Spanning five floors, the club had multiple bars, a karaoke night and various dance spaces hosting guest DJs.
