Well-known freehold pub on busy Bridge Street — trading goodwill and character.
Freehold traditional wet-led pub with strong local reputation
Rare freehold, wet-led public house in the heart of Aberdeen city centre, positioned on Bridge Street with strong pedestrian footfall and prominent main-road frontage. The bar trades as a well-known traditional venue with audited barrelage in excess of 230 barrels per year and a 25-year operating history under the same publican, offering immediate trading goodwill.
The property is approximately 1,173 sq ft across ground floor and basement with an open-plan, square-shaped bar space, high Victorian ceilings, arched windows and traditional timber finishes. The building’s character and city-centre location create clear potential for continued wet-led trading or conversion within licensed hospitality uses, subject to planning and licensing checks.
Buyers should note material considerations: the footprint is compact with no private external space, fit-out and removable items are excluded from the sale, and the surrounding area is classified as very deprived which may affect staffing, customer mix and long-term rental prospects. Rateable value is shown at £25,000 (discounted rates payable c. £7,470) and the current owner is open to letting at around £35,000 pa — these figures will influence yield calculations.
This is a specialist acquisition best suited to an experienced operator or investor familiar with city-centre licensed premises. Prospective purchasers must verify floor area, licensing status, and accounts as part of due diligence; audited accounts are available on request.
