URBAN Cookhouse’s newly launched ‘Summer Camp’ has gone to the dogs – and we don’t mean the classic New York meaty treats that are one of its culinary calling cards.
The Big Apple inspired independent bar and restaurant in Princess Street has revamped the 4,500 sq ft converted shipping warehouse to offer a chilled summer vibe.
Part of this is a canine welcome – but the catch is they must be no bigger than the ‘doggy doorman’ height bar.
]“We have many customers who both live and work in the city, a lot of whom have pet dogs, so we are allowing urban pooches in,” says owner Tim Coulston.
“They must be well-behaved and we are being sizeist about it as we won’t let any puppies in that are bigger than our ‘doggy doorman’ height bar!” New features include private hireable booths, new pool and foosball tables and a photo-booth for indoor fun with a ‘sundowners’ terrace is great for outdoor cocktails.
The food offer has also been given a makeover. To ‘build your own burger or dog’ add a range of cheese, meats, veggies, pickles and sauces to the basic patty (beef, chicken or vegetarian spicy bean) or hotdog, starting from just £8.
Plus there’s 50 per cent off food throughout June, a newly launched £5 lunch deal that runs weekdays from noon until 3pm throughout summer and Urban Cookhouse’s own ‘New York Afternoon Tea Party’ (above) that includes mini burgers, wraps, nachos, New York cheesecake, chocolate brownies and a choice of beers or prosecco for just £15.
The cocktail menu has been given a summer make-over starting from just £3.50, with a happy hour every day from 5pm until 8pm, with offers including two beers or two glasses of prosecco for £5 (bottles £15) and bottles of wine or two cocktails for £10.
