The application says the company would replace the bar and gantry, internally redecorate and refurb the unit’s existing kitchen.
BrewDog also submitted plans for the installation of a cold room within the existing cellar and basements.
The new venue would seat around 70 people while the works would also include external changes such as folding doors and new signage.
There are currently three other BrewDog bars in the capital, including one inside the airport as well as in Cowgate and on Lothian Road.
BrewDog was first started in Fraserburgh by James Watt (below) and his school friend Martin Dickie.
The company already has a bar in a train station in Waterloo Station in London – their biggest UK bar.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
