New look for Basement Bar

Signature Pubs have just revamped The Basement Bar in Broughton Street, Edinburgh. The company, which bought the pub earlier in the year, have given the longstanding Edinburgh institution a new lease of life without taking away its individuality. Over the past few years it had become quite run down, but the bar now has even more ecletic (was that possible) features including a giant mural on the ceiling. There’s everything there from flower pots on the walls to a big cage filled with bottles, chintzy upholstery, exposed stone walls and some very ecletic artwork. It’s definitely a step-change for Signature who usually veer towards the style-look rather than bohemian.
