00:00Thank you for watching my video.
00:02Please subscribe to my channel.
00:04See you next time.
00:06Bye.
00:30We're really, really thrilled.
00:32So it's our first official day of being open
00:34with Little Piccadilly
00:36here at the Playhouse in Edinburgh.
00:38And what a gift it is for us as well,
00:40especially given it's our 95th anniversary.
00:42So, yeah, a wonderful birthday gift for us.
00:44We have people coming in
00:46across the week, last week,
00:48trying out the cocktails, the beers,
00:50the wines. We've had people trying
00:52the patisseries and the coffee.
00:54And they've all gone down on real treats.
00:56I think there's, the Norma
00:58is a particular favourite for people
01:00in terms of the cocktails, but of course
01:02there's a real wide offering there as well.
01:04In October, we'll have
01:06a small plates offer as well.
01:08So that will be available throughout the day.
01:10So you'll be able to grab something in the morning,
01:12the afternoon, the evening, to go alongside
01:14whatever you choose to drink.
01:16We're not here just for people coming to the Playhouse.
01:18We're very much a stand-alone bar.
01:20This was a bar before, and that's
01:22where we'll remain. So whilst we're associated
01:24with the Playhouse,
01:26we are the Playhouse running it.
01:28It's here for people every day, all day.
