Jackson The Tailor, the Princess Street speakeasy, which was designed by Collective Design has been short-listed by British Institute of Interior Designers in the BIID Interior Design Awards 2024.
Owned by Merchant Leisure, and inspired by the speakeasy culture of the early 20th century, when Old Leith Street was the centre of Edinburgh’s tailoring industry, the venue’s interior was brought to life by Collective Design, who created the blend of ‘sophistication with modernity’.
Arthur Mustard, Managing Director at Merchant Leisure Ltd, said, “To be recognised for such a prestigious award is an absolute honour. Our aim with Jackson the Tailor is to create a suave and comfortable space to enjoy carefully crafted cocktails. We believe that wearing a beautifully made suit is an experience, and so is consuming a beautifully made drink. And that is what inspired the attention to detail for our striking interior.”
Merchant Leisure also own bars & restaurants across the city including The Newsroom, The Piper’s Rest, Burgers & Beers Grillhouse and The Railbridge.
