The Blueberry was situated at 20 Cowgate. This pub was also known as the Blueberry Music House and formerly The St Paul's Tavern. It closed in September 2019.
Planning permission has been granted to demolish the Blueberry in Cowgate and build 15 (yes, fifteen!) flats on the site. Originally the St Paul's Tavern, the pub was for many years an important music venue in the city, and its loss will be hard felt by music lovers. The owners allowed the property to fall into disrepair over the last couple of years, and the council used this, and the promise of a couple of affordable flats, to sway their decision to close yet another, despite objections from Camra and local residents. It seems that in the face of a determined developer, there is nothing we can do to save our heritage pubs.
