High Tide has closed
The no-frills, all business booze destination has closed, according to Broke-ass Stuart. It’s a sad and abrupt goodbye to a bar that’s long been a watering hole for all kinds of drinkers, meaning no more drinking at the bar in awe of the topless portrait behind the bar (that notoriously portrays the previous owner’s grandmother) and the dollar bill-covered walls. It’s a growing trend as bars age and the modern life continues its relentless course (nearby Edinburgh Castle is up for sale, and trans bar Divas recently closed). Stay tuned for more details if they emerge, though Yelp reports it closed, and the phone is disconnected.
