New look and new name for Edinburgh pub

At the end of the year McSorley’s opened in Edinburgh’s Clerk Street. Formerly McEwans Alehouse, the new look McSorley’s has been taken over by Iain Pert and Gordon Gilhooley. The venture is another Star Pubs and Bars lease for the duo.
The bar has been totally transformed, with exposed brick walls, lots of wood – rough cut and rosewood, leather banquettes, and creative artwork. The lighting is all industrial chic and the bar itself offers a good range of beers. The bar will focus on live music and good drinks rather than food, although the food offering is good too.
