A pub based on zombie drama The Walking Dead is set to open next month.

Fans of The Walking Dead will be able to dive headfirst into the action as the horror show prepares to be brought to life in the very heart of the Scottish Capital.

Opening its doors next month, new pop-up bar "Survive" marks the latest Edinburgh-based venture from film and television fans The Pop-Up Geeks.

Customers who over-indulge on the drink are likely to find themselves sympathising with the programmes antagonists the morning after.

Its arrival comes after the success of "Blood and Wine", a Game of Thrones-themed bar which delighted fans at Dublin Street venue Daylight Robbery.

Unveiling their plans, the Pop-Up Geeks team said: "The world as we know it is gone. Nowadays, every time you step outside you risk your life.

Glasgow Times:

"After weeks of scavenging we've stockpiled a variety of beers, spirits, cocktails and rations for survivors to enjoy.

"We've also put together a selection of boilermakers inspired by major moments from The Walking Dead comic book series and TV show, so that we can prepare you for what's out there.

"This is how we survive."

From May 3 the new pop-up will be open every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday until the end of June at One Below, a venue beneath Belgian beer bar Six Degrees North.

And the Pop-Up Geeks have big plans for the future, saying Survive is "just one" of their exciting pop-ups for 2017 - hinting a return to Westeros could even be on the cards.

They added: "Our aim is to bring together drinks and entertainment to create unique and exciting experiences.

"Following Survive we plan to return to Game of Thrones and have plans and ideas for the future inspired by properties such as Harry Potter and Stranger Things."

Organisers will be hoping Survive enjoys a similar level of success as Blood and Wine, whose run ended up being extended due to popular demand.

Based on the bestselling novels by George RR Martin, fans were able to enjoy a variety of Westeros-themed drinks, such as the Myrish fire wine and the Black Tar rum cocktail.

Their next subject, The Walking Dead, is a drama based on a comic strip portraying life in the wake of a zombie apocalypse.

In the show, lead character and sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes awakens from a coma to discover a world overrun by zombies - commonly referred to in the programme as "walkers".

Grimes reunites with his family and goes on to become the leader of a group of survivors, with the show tracking their battle to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic world.

The show's eighth season is set to get under way later this year.
