Jim McLaughlin and wife Suzanne are to open a venue in Edinburgh in the new year. The two, who own Vespbar in Glasgow have taken on the lease on a small boutique hotel on Picardy Place. Occupying a four storey townhouse, the building also has a bar on the ground floor and a private dinning room and full catering kitchen in the basement. The first floor hosts a restaurant for 40 covers while it also has four en-suite bedrooms. Jim told DRAM, “We are looking forward to opening next year. We think there is lots of potential with it.”
