Bar's opening party set to breathe new life into empty Edinburgh pub
The opening of a new cocktail bar is set to breathe new life into an empty Edinburgh pub unit.
The Oak & Ember will open in the Bowhill Terrace pub previously known as The Golden Acre, The Inverleith and Spiers Bar. To mark the occasion, it is holding an opening part from 6pm on Friday, February 20, which will see visitors treated to a night of free food and games.
Erin Rodger, who will run the bar, told the Evening News: “It’s very exciting to be opening this week and I think it will be great for the local community because there aren’t that many bars in the area. It’s a great space for people to get together and enjoy drinks in a casual setting.
“Friday is our soft launch and we can’t wait to mingle with the community – everybody is welcome.”
The bar will serve a range of cocktails and beers on draught with its food menu including a selection of pizzas and sides. But Erin said they plan to build the menu in the coming months. Final preparations are now under way for the big night with a new sign being erected in the next few days.
Writing on social media, owners said: “We’re finally opening our doors. Come celebrate with us as we bring bold flavours, warm vibes, and unforgettable moments to the table.
“Enjoy great pizza and a first taste of everything we’ve been working on behind the scenes.”
