All hands on deck.

New menu lands Thursday.
New faces behind the bar.
New ideas on the table.

@blairhay12 steps into a new role in drinks production and development. He'll build the prep, test the specs and push what we pour next.

The rest of the new crew will be introduced one at a time. Soon.

Throwback to the end of September, when Dogstar took over the Hatch.

Jimmy, Kyle and Mikey rolling back the years on the jambon-beurres. Tunes from @lukelavolpe, @tobymottershead, @nic_mercer and @dannyscrimshaw. Not a stool spare.

Cheers to @dogstarleith, @jimmysnaps, @kylethomasjamieson and @lynch_mjay, with @pilotbeeruk and @remymartin on the drinks - and of course to everyone who came down for it!

A bigger one's landing this month. Watch this space.

Mike and Kyle have spent 20 years behind some of Scotland's best bars.

They now run @nauticusbar, @dogstarleith and @thekeelsonleith in Leith, and they have very clear opinions on what brands get right and what they get badly wrong.

Full conversation linked in bio.

We've been sitting down with some of the most interesting people in the drinks industry and just talking with no agenda.

The first session was with Mike Lynch and Kyle Jameson, co-owners of @nauticusbar, @thekeelsonleith and @dogstarleith in Edinburgh, and two of the most straight-talking people in Scottish hospitality.

Latest on the specials.

@caorunngin, verbena, @luckyliqueurs Tonka, caraway tea. Lemon, egg & absinthe.

Herbal, bright, and gone before you've finished writing it down.

Last few days of the @thebotanistgin martini flight.

The pickles aren't going anywhere though. Ask the bar and they'll knock you up a proper martini to go with them.
