Could you run this pub?
Are you ready to take the next step in your hospitality career and run your own pub business? Scotia Bar offers an exciting opportunity for an ambitious operator to manage a well-established venue in the heart of Aberdeen.
About the Pub
Located on Summerfield Terrace, just a stone’s throw from Aberdeen Football Club, this traditional pub is in an excellent location to attract both loyal locals and passing trade.
The venue boasts spacious bar and lounge areas, with a separate bar in each.
With its classic charm and potential for development, this pub is ideal for someone looking to create a destination venue for drinks, entertainment, and community events.
As the new Publican, you’ll have the freedom to shape the pub’s future. Whether your vision includes live music, sports screenings, themed nights etc. Scotia Bar provides the flexibility to make your mark. The pub already enjoys a solid customer base, but there is significant scope to grow revenue through creative marketing and a refreshed approach.
Ideal Publican
We’re looking for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset. You will have your own vision for this pub and cater to the needs of the current demographic and beyond.
We’re seeking a talented Publican who loves people and pubs. You’ll know where locals like to sit, what they drink, and you’ll have quick wit and banter and a passion for hospitality.
You’ll need strong people skills, the ability to build relationships within the local community, and a commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences.
We’re also seeking a Publican who will maximise their use of social channels to drive new footfall and bring their pub to life online.
Previous pub or hospitality management experience is desirable, but enthusiasm, drive, creativity, and personality are just as important.
You will need to live locally, as this excellent business opportunity does not offer private accommodation.
