Themed after the horror novel that is its namesake, Frankenstein is the perfect place for a spooktacular night out. It's housed in a 19th-century church, with live monster shows, creepy animatronics and vats of bubbling liquid to really set the scene.
They've also got a killer menu of German-inspired food and drink, from huge steins of beer to blue monster martinis and nduja loaded fries.
For those of you after Halloween events in Edinburgh for adults, Slug and Lettuce is inviting you to join its coven on George Street. Expect eerie decorations, banging music and crazy costumes, alongside all their usual affordable drinks and food.
They've got a number of themed cocktails to enjoy over spooky season as well, all promising bright colours and an Instagrammable presentation.
