The Business & Opportunity
The Dolphin Bar is a good quality traditional public house, which has been operating for many years. The Dolphin has become an institution within the Partick area and, although the main trading area is relatively small, the business is extremely popular and has an excellent following. The property provides a single bar operation, which is easily managed and, with limited operating costs, should provide a good level of profitability for a new tenant.
Historically, the business was leased out and, therefore, we are not in receipt of any full accounting information. However, we understand that the business historically traded in the region of £7,000 to £8,000 gross per week.
This is an excellent opportunity for an owner/operator to acquire and run a highly regarded traditional bar within a popular trading location.

The Dolphin Bar is situated in an excellent trading position within the centre of Partick, a short distance to the west of the core city centre. The premises lie directly opposite Partick Underground Station, close to Byres Road and within a densely populated area. In addition, there are a high number of students residing in the substantial new student apartment complexes within the area.
Specifically, the premises lie on Dumbarton Road, at its junction with Benalder Street.

There are two accesses to the main bar area from Dumbarton Road and Benalder Street. Both accesses lead into a highly attractive traditional public bar. A bar servery is set to the rear. There are high internal ceilings, timber floors and a mix of loose and fixed back seating, which can accommodate approximately 40 persons.
Ladies and gent’s customer toilets are situated off. A large cellar with street drop (for deliveries), is arranged over the basement. In addition, there is a small mezzanine area, which provides a manager’s office.
Overall, the premises provide an excellent traditional ambience throughout.
