The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
Located in a former bank, this large city centre bar is decorated to look something like Dr Frankenstein's laboratory, complete with a 10-foot monster. Booths, clustered round the central bar area, come with their own plasma TVs. Dining is also available on a mezzanine level. The menu focuses on burgers, nachos, fajitas and steaks, with themed platters called 'towers' and monstrous portions being a trademark of this chain (which has branches in Edinburgh and Aberdeen). The 14oz rib-eye steak is sourced in Scotland and the plate comes heaving with mushrooms, onion rings, tomatoes and chunky chips. The chicken burger is a boneless breast topped with bacon and a slice of mozzarella cheese. Among sweets, the 'crêpe creation' - a towering stack of thin French-style pancakes - oozes with marshmallows, butterscotch and chocolate sauce, and can be shared. From a bit past 9pm, the kitchen stops making main meals and the emphasis turns to nibbles and platters for sharing, which are served to revellers until 2.45am … or when the monster wakes up.
