The Harp & Castle is a long-established Leith Walk pub with a loyal local following and consistently high barrelage. Situated on a busy stretch of Leith Walk, the business benefits from strong footfall, particularly on match days when Hibs supporters pack the bar. The premises are offered freehold, with a licensed internal capacity of around 200 and a large cellar providing generous storage.
The business trades as a traditional wet-led public house with a fitted commercial kitchen and a compact office. There is clear scope to grow turnover by introducing a food offer, themed nights or curated drinks ranges. Fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, although certain customer-owned memorabilia and signed strips will be removed prior to completion.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the EPC is rated E, the property sits in a very deprived local area classification, and there is limited private external amenity beyond a summer outdoor seating licence for about 30 covers. Rateable value from April 2023 is £26,700. Accounts and fuller trading information will be released after a formal viewing.
A small, long-serving team will TUPE across. Buyers should note the busy main road location brings excellent visibility but also traffic noise and servicing constraints. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a working community pub on Leith Walk with room to diversify and grow revenue.
