The Alchemist has announced a £1.5m investment in a second bar and restaurant in Edinburgh.
Its third Scottish location - following a debut as part of the St. James Quarter development at the end of last year and recently-revealed plans to open in Glasgow’s George Square this winter - occupies a prime site on George Street in the capital.
Set to open in early 2023, it should bring around 60 new jobs.
The 7,051sq ft space will house 185 covers for creative cocktails and all-day casual dining.
Jenny McPhee, brand director, said: “The response to our first bar and restaurant in Edinburgh last year, alongside plans to make our debut in Glasgow later this year, has been incredible and we’re thrilled to be further expanding our portfolio in Scotland with a second venue in the capital.
“With a mix of listed features and our signature style, the site is going to be stunning, offering an unrivalled and unconventional drinking and dining experience in the heart of the city.”
