The Brig & Barrel is a well‑established free house on Dunbar High Street, trading successfully from a traditional stone building with a substantial covered beer garden and a fully fitted commercial kitchen. The business benefits from coastal tourism, Belhaven Brewery visitors, nearby caravan park and local golf course, producing multiple revenue streams and strong online reviews. Fixtures and fittings are included, and the property has an EPC rating B.
The sale is offered as a new leasehold (FRI, 20–25 year term negotiable) with an annual rent of £70,000 and free‑of‑tie status; freehold may be considered. The property provides owner’s accommodation above the pub (currently used as storage/office) that could be reactivated or let short‑term where demand is strong.
Key value drivers are location by Belhaven Brewery, large beer garden (c.80 capacity) with external bar, move‑in ready kitchen and established local and tourist trade. Material considerations include the leasehold tenure and relatively high annual rent, the town’s area classification as very deprived, and some cosmetic updating likely required to the ground‑floor frontage and interiors.
This opportunity suits an owner‑operator, an investor adding a coastal licensed venue to a portfolio, or an experienced hospitality operator able to maximise garden and tourism trade. Interested parties should request trading figures and staff details; regulatory details and rates payable should be confirmed with the local authority.
