Hostel provider, pub and bar operator Beds and Bars, is to open a new bar concept at its Belushi’s site in Edinburgh this weekend- Jake’s Place.
Located alongside the existing venue on Market Street, Jake’s Place will deliver a blue grass theme- promoting all things Americana infused with some local Scottish essentials. Specialising in beers, the new bar will offer 65 American and Scottish craft and seasonal beers per annum. Further to this there will be a vast selection of Scottish malts, American bourbons and ryes. The site will in fact, serve the entire range of American craft beers from Fordnam and Dominion- the Delaware brewed beers date back to 1702 with six brews in its range. There will also be an American and Scottish influenced food menu, offering a number of street food dishes. Each dish will be matched up to a specific beer.
Meanwhile the company, which is led by Keith Knowles, will then open a 38 million Euros site in Paris this summer, located opposite the Gare du Nord. It will boast 600 beds- 50 of these private rooms and then the remaining 550 being in shared rooms of various different sizes. These rooms will include sleeper-carriage pod beds with privacy curtains, power points, reading lights and lockers. The hostel will also have an on-site Belushi’s bar and a French café on site.
Beds and Bars already operates a site in Paris on St Christopher’s Canal that contains a Belushi’s bar and a St Christopher’s Inns hostel, offering 368 beds.
