William Purnell left this review about The Alexander Graham Bell
Originally this was the South of Scotland Electricty Board showroom and was converted into a pub, Bar 38, a number of years ago. Bar 38 was unique, as far as Edinburgh was concerned, having unisex toilets.
Further change took place and the venue became the Ivory Lounge.
Earlier this year it was announced in the local evening paper that Wetherspoons had taken over the property and that it would open under the Lloyds No1 banner.
This is not now the case as the pub is due to reopen on Friday 4 June 2010 as The Alexander Graham Bell under the J D Wetherspoon banner. Named after the man who is credited with inventing the first telephone, who's birthplace is around 100yds away in South Charlotte Street.
