Description
The Brig & Barrel is a welcoming free house pub nestled in the heart of Belhaven, Dunbar, a historic town known for its stunning coastline and rich heritage.
Conveniently located between the famous Bridge to Nowhere and the 300 year-old Belhaven Brewery, this independent pub offers a cozy atmosphere and excellent customer service.
The pub is dog friendly, making it a great spot for pet owners to relax and enjoy a meal. The business benefits from visitors to the local caravan park and Dunbar Golf course, as well as the recent housing development a short walk from the property, with future developments underway in the local area.
Dunbar, a charming coastal town in East Lothian, Scotland, is steeped in history and natural beauty. Known for its rugged coastline, rich heritage, and vibrant community, Dunbar offers visitors a mix of outdoor adventures and cultural experiences.
The town is well connected, making travel convenient. By train, Dunbar sits on the East Coast mainline, with regular services from Edinburgh Waverley taking just 20 minutes. Bus routes also provide easy access, with services from Edinburgh, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and surrounding towns like Musselburgh and Haddington.
Whether exploring the historic High Street, visiting John Muir’s Birthplace, or enjoying the scenic cliff-top walks, Dunbar is a delightful destination for locals and tourists alike.
The Brig & Barrel is an impressive and well maintained stone property with a range of features to attract guests.
The bar and restaurant is situated at ground level and can accommodate around c.60 via a mixture of moveable tables and chairs, as well as fixed seating.
A traditional bar servery is located to the middle of the room, complete with beer taps, fridges and gantry with a selection of wines and spirits.
The basement level features a spacious commercial kitchen equipped with a separate store and additional external storage facilities.
Overall, The Brig & Barrel is a tastefully decorated property maintained to exceptional standards, with high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout.
All fixtures and fittings will be included in the sale. Any personal belongings owned by the current owners will be removed before the sale.
External DetailsA charming beer garden named "The Sitooterie" complete with its own outside bar and a decked area split over two sides. There are a mixture of covered booths equipped with heaters, bench seating and loose tables and chairs with a capacity of c.80.
Owner's AccommodationIncluded in the sale is a beautiful two bedroom owner's home which is located above the main bar. The accommodation is accessible from the rear of the property floors with livingroom, kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms and main bathroom.
The flat is currently used for storage and office space, however, could also generate a rental/airbnb income if required as accommodation is scarce in the area for both holiday makers and contractors.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a well performing business situated in the seaside town of Dunbar and sits in front of Belhaven Brewery. The business has built a great reputation welcoming both locals and tourists, with multiple revenue streams. There is currently a good relationship with Belhaven Brewery that benefits the business in the form of brewery tour customers and goodwill.
The Brig & Barrel would be well suited to an owner operator, family business or compliment an existing portfolio due its high level of turnover.
The Brig & Barrel boasts exceptional reviews across online platforms such as Google, TripAdvisor and Facebook.
