Edinburgh bar branches into spa industry to survive Scotland's Covid lockdown

A popular Edinburgh bar has pivoted to a new way of drumming up business during lockdown- and no, it's not a takeaway booze service.

Bristo Square bar and record label Paradise Palms, known for their cocktails, music and vegan scran, have made a very surprising move and branched out into the spa and wellness industry.

The team behind the bar have released their very own range of homemade (made by the venue's staff themselves!) all natural, all vegan set of home spa essentials.

The £25 ' lockdown luxury ' kits include Tropical Bath Salts, Bountiful Bubble Bath and their patented Piña Colada Massage Oil.

Paradise Palms wrote online: "Tough times call for ridiculous measures and for Palms to go on releasing and supporting new music, we have been forced to branch out into the spa and wellness industry".

Joking about their ongoing venture, they added "Don't worry, Palms will remain unchanged when we are finally allowed to re-open (except for the installation of a spa pool and massage parlour upstairs on the first floor) but our location scouts are currently searching the country (via Google Earth) to find the perfect site for a spa and creative leisure retreat which we hope to open in 2072 or sooner if we win the lottery."

All kits come with a digital download of Paradise Palm's latest 'Bonnie Tropical compilation series' featuring new contemporary music from Scotland.
