The Boatyard Bar & Grill is arranged within two-storey constructed buildings, under a mix of pitched and flat roofs, clad in slate and bituminous felt. The premises are accessed directly from Riverside Lane, which leads into an external seating area and, thereafter, the main access to the licensed acommodation.
SERVICES
The premises are connected to all mains services, including water, gas and electricity.
PREMISES LICENCE
The premises currently operate under a premises licence.
THE BUSINESS
The Boatyard Bar & Grill provides an excellent opportunity for an experienced licensed operator to develop a good quality restaurant and public house. The premises are situated in a good trading location within Dumbarton Town Centre, overlooking the River Leven. In our opinion, the business would be ideal for a food led business, with the added benefit of the upper floor, which can be utilised for functions.
The premises are also situated in an excellent position for alternative use. There is an opportunity to change the premises for retail, office or residential use (subject to the necessary consents).
Location
The Boatyard Bar & Grill is situated in an excellent trading position within the centre of Dumbarton. The main retail high street is situated only 50 yards from the subjects. The main buildings immediately abut Riverside Lane and, thereafter, have scenic views over the River Leven. Overall, the premises are situated in an excellent town centre location to gain both wet and food sales..
Dumbarton itself is situated approximately 21 miles (39 minutes’ drive time) from Glasgow City Centre. Communication links are excellent, with the A82 linking directly into the Glasgow suburbs and, thereafter, the core City Centre of Glasgow.
The mainstay of the business will be local repeat clientele. With a good quality concept, there is no doubt that the business can generate a high level of revenue and profitability.
