Parkway, Glasgow

Parkway is located 2 miles from Glasgow city centre, on Paisley Road West, in the South West area of the city providing excellent transport links via the M8 motorway or by bus and train to and from the city centre. This is a sprawling area, south of the River Clyde, known as the leafy, creative and community-led area, with the Parkway surrounded by shops and local housing providing extensive footfall whilst remaining hub of the community.

Pub Layout

Upon entrance from the main road you are greeted with the bar area complete with a horseshoe shape bar at the centre of the room. The walls are adorned with TV’s , sporting memorabilia, football scarfs complete with astro-turf flooring to enhance the sports theme throughout. Complete with a mixture of low fixed and loose seating alongside sofa areas to create the ambiance of live sporting events this also has a pool table and darts board and has to be seen to be believed. The pub benefits from a commercial kitchen located to the right of the pub.  There was a plan in place with the current licensee to sub-let this part of the business however this has not materialised but could be considered going forward with a new licensee.  There is also a small prep area behind the bar that could house a pizza oven. The lounge area is a mixture of fixed and loose seating complete with own bar and dance floor and can be used for private functions and meetings due to seating up to approximately 80 people.

The golden opportunity for this site is the beer garden to the rear. This is completely closed off and access has to be from inside the main pub and with the right vision could be the perfect opportunity to increase sales and promote the the pub. This area, complete with wooden benches and a marquee could provide the perfect opportunity to increase sales.

Trading as a wet only site with live televised sport, team games such as pool, darts and dominoes, this sports themed bar is currently trading well. The function room provides another source of income and has the potential to increase sales if a strong marketing plan is in place. There is a small garden area at the rear of the building which with the right inspiration could increase sales.

This is an exciting opportunity to run a well established pub business. Admiral Taverns are looking to work with experienced licensee’s who can multi task the function room alongside the sports bar area to create a balance between the two. We are also looking for a licensee with a vision for the garden area and someone who will take the opportunity to incorporate a food offering to increase sales. An individual/couple with local knowledge who can put their own ideas into the business, attract customers from further afield,  have a strong marketing plan and have the desire to grow the business in ensuring it stays part of a circuit, can drive footfall and embedding yourself in the main pub life to make this the “go to” pub for the local community.
