The Dark Lord, The Department of Magic, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

The Department of Magic in Edinburgh invites us to head to Edinburgh for the only place that really pulls off a Potter-worthy evening. We head straight to the Magic Potions Tavern where I excitedly sample ‘The Dark Lord,’ a deadly concoction of dark rum, Malibu, Curacao, and pineapple juice that, naturally, is presented with fleshy brains and bone fragments. A friendly bartender informed us that they offer cocktail-making classes and an escape room as well.
