The opening date for an exciting new bar and restaurant in Barnton, Edinburgh has been announced.
Herringbone Barnton will officially open its doors to the public on Friday, May 16 from 9am, as leading hospitality group Buzzworks unveils the newest addition to its award-winning portfolio.
The site at 201-205 Whitehouse Road is almost ready to open, with external signage now in place and the internal fit-out, furnishings, and beautiful styling well underway.
Meanwhile, team training is also in full progress, with new staff getting geared up to learn all about Herringbone and what the venue will have to offer to the local community and beyond.
General Manager Chris Robinson, a Barnton local himself, said: “We’re super excited to finally be opening the doors to our new Herringbone venue and to showcase to the public our warm and welcoming space.
“The finishing touches are going in and the venue is looking fantastic. Our team is also in training, and we’re getting ready to welcome our first guests for what we know will be something really special for the area.
“Whether it’s brunch after the school run, drinks with friends, or date night dinner – Herringbone Barnton is a place for everyone, and we can’t wait for locals to see it.”
The venue is the fourth Herringbone site to be opened by Buzzworks, joining popular sister venues in Goldenacre, Abbeyhill and North Berwick.
The food menu has been crafted around a thoughtful curation of daytime favourites, vibrant evening plates and crowd-pleasing gourmet burgers – all prepared fresh daily – and, for the first time at a Herringbone venue, the team is gearing up to serve handmade, sourdough pizzas.

Food will be served from 9am daily, with full breakfasts, coffees, breakfast bowls, toasted croissants, avocado on toast, and much more available. Guests will also be able to enjoy over 30 wines by the glass, seasonal cocktails, and local craft beer, with stylish interiors, a central bar, and expansive windows creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere.
Herringbone is part of the award-winning Buzzworks group, which has been recognised as one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK and is committed to creating a supportive and rewarding work environment.
