The Cowshed

Situated just opposite the Underbelly’s Cowgate complex (and, as far as we can tell, sharing no further affiliation with Underbelly but cheerfully nicking their cow theme and clientele), this oh-so-temporary pop-up features hay bales instead of furniture, outhouse-style toilets and regular live music from a variety of genres (though naturally, the space favours country-tinged acts). There’s also beaucoup branding from hipster bourbon-based bevvy Jeremiah Weed, but overt marketeering is something you’ll become accustomed to and become inured to as the Fest continues.
