Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a profitable bar and restaurant which is nestled on the edge of the old harbour in Arbroath. Our clients have owned the business for over 17 years and are now selling due to retirement.

The Old Brewhouse has a fantastic reputation with locals and visitors and there is no doubt that an ingoing purchaser could grow the business further.

Location

The Old Brewhouse is situated in the historic town of Arbroath, 54 miles south of Aberdeen and around 17 miles north of Dundee.

Arbroath has a strong connection to the fishing industry and is well known for their speciality dish 'Arbroath Smokie'. The town has a population of around 24,000 and is very popular with tourists due to the nearby landmarks such as Arbroath Abbey, which was founded in the 12th Century, and is renowned for its red sandstone ruins. There are several beaches which are especially popular during the summer months.

The local train station is located within the heart of the town and forms part of the Dundee to Aberdeen line.

To the left, and rear, of the room is the main bar with moveable tables and chairs which can accommodate for around 50, with additional seating for around 20 comfortably situated to the right of the room.
