A former neighbourhood pub may be converted into offices and storage facilities if a planning application to the City of Edinburgh is successful.
Moredun Enterprises has submitted plans to Edinburgh Council to turn the vacant Royal Bar at 50 Moredunvale Road near the Royal Infirmary into two Class 2 offices and a storage unit.”
Moredun has said it has no intention of modifying the exterior of the building during the transformation, and the company already owns the site as well as an adjoining shop property.

The plans have proposed splitting the former bar area into two office spaces with a new separating wall, and the cellar would be turned into storage space for the shops.
The property acted as a local public house serving pub grub and alcohol. However, the pub has been closed for some time with the most recent reviews dating from 2020.
Moredun Enterprises LTD is registered as a private limited company in Edinburgh, Scotland. The company has been incorporated for three years. The business is listed as providing retail sale in non-specialised stores with food, beverages or tobacco.
The planning application for this development is currently awaiting Council assessment.
