Located on the corner of George Street and Fraser Place, this freehold public house occupies a prominent roadside position close to Aberdeen city centre and student accommodation. The property trades over two floors with a main bar, separate lounge with small stage, pool table area and cellar — offering flexible layout for hospitality use or alternative conversion.
The bar is a free house with no brewery tie, allowing a new owner to renegotiate supplies and shape trading strategy. Existing fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, and the lounge space can be used for events, functions or extra covers to boost revenue. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit modern hospitality operators and pop-up concepts.
There are clear commercial opportunities alongside redevelopment potential: the building may suit retail or residential conversion subject to planning consent. The established customer base and student/commuter footfall provide a foundation for growth for an owner-operator or investor prepared to invest in refurbishment and marketing.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the EPC rating is G and the building will likely need energy and maintenance improvements. The location sits within a very deprived area, which affects rates of local spending and may influence revenue patterns. Trading accounts, staff details and full financials are only available to seriously interested parties after a formal viewing. Prospective purchasers should confirm business rates and investigate planning or licensing requirements for alternative uses.
