Edinburgh's historic Ryrie's Bar on Haymarket has reopened after a long restoration effort.
The boozer had been shut down whilst works got underway but they took to social media this afternoon (February 4) to announce that they are reopening.
The pub will open early morning from 11am and will close for 12pm every night.

The owners at D M Stewart Ltd say the refurbishment now has the old public house looking just as it did when it was built, with teak exterior, oak bar and panelled interior.
The bar has had a rich history in its 160 or so years. The little changed Edwardian public house occupies a prominent position at the junction of Haymarket, Dalry Road and Morrison Street.
It has Baronial details and a Scottish Renaissance style teak wooden pub frontage. The interior has attractive leaded and stained glass with lettering and a finely detailed carved gantry behind the bar.
Ryrie & Co have their own website and on it they explain a little about the building's history, prior to the recent restoration job.
A spokesperson explains: "The building now occupied by Ryrie’s would appear to have been rebuilt and baronialised in 1868 (the cast-iron hoppers bear this date) and some alterations were made to The Haymarket Inn at this date as well.
"By 1906 the two parts were linked as private and public bars of one property under the name The Haymarket Inn and the ground floor and interior rebuilt.
"Further minor interior alterations in 1992 improved access around the bar, but left the majority of the original bar unchanged.
"Ownership of the property passed between large national Pubcos before being purchased by the Edinburgh family run pub company D M Stewart Ltd, which owns and operates some of the cities finest Victorian and Edwardian pubs."
