Edinburgh hospitality operator Encore Bars Group has added The Globe Bar on Niddry Street to its growing city centre portfolio.
The team will keep The Globe running in its current format and name through the festive period before closing after Hogmanay for a full refurbishment. It is expected to reopen in February 2025 with a new concept.
Encore Bars currently operates several venues across the capital, including The Boston Bar on Hanover Street, Freddy’s on Frederick Street, and Westside Rodeo on George Street.
Edward Fox, Director at Encore Bars, said, “We are delighted to be setting some roots in the Old Town for our expanding group. We have been looking for the right venue and definitely feel we have found it at The Globe.
“We can’t wait to add our personality and touch to the venue in the New Year, aiming to open in February 2025 with our next concept. In the meantime, it is business as usual. The doors are open Wednesday to Sunday until the New Year and we look forward to welcoming you in for a final few drinks at The Globe.”
Further updates on the venue’s redevelopment and rebrand are expected in the coming weeks.
