Duddingston Leisure has spent around £100k refurbishing the former News Room on Edinburgh’s Leith Street. It re-opened last month under new name, The Newsroom Bar & Eatery, and the GM is Harry Bennett. He said, “We have stepped up the food offering, with a strong emphasis on homemade and locally-sourced produce.
He continued, “In terms of the interior design, the biggest talking points are the jam jars containing old fashioned lightbulbs, and we’ve got some scaffolding boards on the walls that have been treated and varnished. Witty slogans in illuminated red neon letters are also drawing lots of comments. The furniture is a mixture of white wood and black leather Chesterfields.”
