Mersey Move Commercial Estate Agents are delighted to bring to market an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully fitted and equipped public house in one of Liverpool city centre's most desirable leisure locations.
Occupying a prominent position on School Lane, moments from Liverpool ONE, Bold Street and the historic Bluecoat, the premises benefit from an established hospitality setting surrounded by independent bars, restaurants, cultural attractions and major retail destinations.
Currently operating as Roe's Irish Pub, the property extends to approximately 2,282 sq ft across the ground and first floors, providing substantial, characterful accommodation with considerable flexibility for an incoming operator.
Fully Fitted and Equipped – Ready for a New Operator
A particularly attractive feature of this opportunity is the comprehensive existing hospitality fit-out, which is included within the £40,000 premium.
The premises are offered with the existing bars, tables, chairs, seating, fridges, refrigeration equipment, fixtures, fittings and associated pub equipment, providing an incoming operator with the essential infrastructure to establish their business without the substantial expenditure associated with fitting out an empty commercial unit.
The interiors combine traditional pub character with distinctive contemporary finishes, creating an inviting atmosphere that could accommodate a variety of hospitality concepts.
The property benefits from established bar areas on both floors, customer seating, ancillary accommodation and supporting facilities.
This arrangement provides opportunities to create complementary trading environments, accommodate private functions or introduce different experiences across the two floors.
Whether continuing with a traditional Irish pub concept or introducing a cocktail bar, independent drinking establishment or alternative hospitality offering, the premises provide an adaptable setting with much of the necessary infrastructure already in place.
A Prime Liverpool City Centre Location
School Lane occupies an excellent position within Liverpool's established retail, cultural and leisure district.
The property is situated moments from Liverpool ONE, one of the city's principal shopping and leisure destinations, and Bold Street, renowned for its diverse collection of independent restaurants, cafés and bars.
The historic Bluecoat is also nearby, while the wider Ropewalks district provides an established concentration of hospitality and entertainment venues.
This central location offers access to a broad potential customer base, including city centre workers, shoppers, residents, students and visitors exploring Liverpool's attractions.
For hospitality operators, the combination of an established leisure environment and proximity to major city centre destinations represents a compelling commercial proposition.
An Established Hospitality Address
The property also benefits from a longstanding association with Liverpool's independent hospitality scene.
Previously home to the well-known Hole in the Wall café, the premises subsequently became Present Company, an independent cocktail bar, before operating as Roe's Irish Pub.
This history adds character to the opportunity and demonstrates the property's adaptability to different hospitality concepts.
For an established operator seeking an additional city centre venue, or an independent entrepreneur looking to launch a distinctive new business, the premises offer the opportunity to acquire a comprehensively equipped hospitality property in an established trading location.
