Edinburgh bar and restaurant to close before Christmas as staff find new jobs

An Edinburgh bar and restaurant has made the heartbreaking decision to close their business.

Philly’s which is located in the heart of South Gyle’s industrial estate had cut back on their opening hours earlier this year but has made the call to close their doors for good after securing employment for their staff at other hospitality venues across the capital and Fife.

They shared a post on Facebook on Friday, November 18 and apologised to any customers who may have had a booking in the near future.

The decision to close was not expected to come so soon and Philly’s say it was not an easy one but that they had to act when they managed to achieve redeployment for staff members.

Philly’s will have a last hurrah today as they welcome punters for a day filled with rugby entertainment.
