They commented: “For now, it is business as usual so please do continue to visit for a cocktail or two as a new chapter for 51 Langstane Place awaits.”

An award-winning venue

The venue holds a range of accomplishments including being placed on the UK’s Top 50 Best Bars list, winning SLTN Best Cocktail Bar in Scotland award four times and being shortlisted for GQ magazine’s Bar of the Year.

The late-night cocktail bar also sent out thousands of cocktails during the pandemic to customers across the UK.

In 2015, the P&J reported that Orchid founder Ben Irvani had been using the basement of the establishment to create the now well-established Porter’s Gin.
