‘Game of Thrones’ Cafe Brings Westeros to Scotland

A pop-up cafe inspired by HBO’s Game of Thrones has taken over Edinburgh, Scotland — at least until the end of February.

The cafe, called Blood and Wine and designed by The Pop Up Geeks, features cocktails with “sweet cherries from Dorne, rich spiced wine from the Arbor, and Wolfburn Whisky from the far reaches of the North,” plus “Frey Pies” and “Sansa Lemon Cakes.”

The cafe itself is outfitted with plenty of Game of Thrones props including detailed replica armor. “We really do love Game of Thrones, and wanted to attract genuine fans like ourselves,” Linden Wilkinson, one of the founders of The Pop Up Geeks, told BuzzFeed. “We spent a lot of time on research, sourced the swords and armor from The Knight’s Vault (an armorer in Edinburgh) and our bone mugs are made by Abbeyhorn, the official suppliers to the TV series.”

If you happen to be in Edinburgh this winter, Blood and Wine pops up in the cellar below Daylight Robbery on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
