Clerk’s Bar in Edinburgh’s South Clerk Street has opened after a £400K make-over by owners Maclays. The bar is offering fresh slow smoked BBQ style food as well as good range of craft and cask beers.
It has a relaxed and laid back feel which includes colourful murals on the walls, a rustic bar featuring reclaimed wood, exposed brick walls, industrial style lighting and plasma screens for showing major sporting events.
Kayleigh Beveridge, manager of Clerk’s, said, “Clerk’s is all about really good BBQ style slow cooked meats in a chilled-out neighbourhood pub. The place has a really laid back feel – and we’re hoping that people will want to just come in, grab a drink and bite to unwind.
“We’ve also got a great entertainment programme lined up with DJs at the weekend, craft beer tasting nights and lots more planned for the coming weeks.”
Steve Mallon, MD of Maclay Inns, said, “This is a new concept for us and one we’re really excited about. We believe we are the first to do BBQ style smoked meats in a pub setting and we expect it will be very popular, especially when combined with the great range of cask and craft beers we have and live sports on TV. It’s a very casual dining experience but one we believe fits perfectly in this area.”
Clerk’s has 60 covers in the main bar area and a separate area downstairs which has its own bar and seating for 30 people; it can also be booked out for private functions, parties and meetings.
