Much-loved Edinburgh wine bar to shut as team share 'heartbreaking news'

The team behind a much-loved wine bar have confirmed that they will sadly be closing their venue but confirmed they are hoping to relocate.

Posting about their decision not to renew their lease for the current Good Brothers Wine Bar site on Dean Street in Stockbridge, they said: "After seven wonderful years at our cosy Dean Street address, we at Good Brothers Wine Bar have had to take the very hard decision not to renew our lease with our landlords.

"So today we have to share the heartbreaking news that we’ll be closing the doors on our beloved Stockbridge bar for the last time on Saturday 13th May.

"In weighing up all the contributing factors, we know that this is the right decision, for the right reasons, at the right time."

However, they were quick to point out that it wasn't a goodbye.

They added: "We’re currently searching for the right site to relocate to and have a few irons in the fire. Watch this space for what will hopefully be Good Brothers Wine 2.0."

The original Good Brothers, Rory and Graeme Sutherland, offered their "heartfelt thanks" to all the brilliant teams who have worked with them over the years.

They added that they felt truly privileged to have "pulled so many corks with so many hospitality legends".

And thanking customers who have visited the Dean Street wine bar over the years, they added: "Without your loyal support for all the crazy stuff we do and have done so passionately over the past seven years, we’d just be another bar. Thank you from the bottom of our hospitality-loving hearts.

"We will of course continue to trade online in the short term. So let's make the next 16 days massive. The old girl of Dean Street needs to be sent off in style!"

As soon as we find out any more news about the new location, we will of course let you know.

Saddened fans took to the post to offer their condolences and with the team luck on their future plans.

One wrote: "So sorry to hear this. Good Brothers is my favourite place to go for a drink in the whole city. Best of luck, and I look forward to visiting the new place, wherever it is."

While another added: "Oh no will be sad to see you leave! Love your bar - such a wonderful place, but I’m sure 2.0 will be just as wonderful!"
