Sophisticated Restaurant & Wine Bar in Aberdeen

This opportunity presents the acquisition of an esteemed wine bar and cultural destination within Aberdeen’s dynamic hospitality landscape.

Housed in a meticulously restored 18th-century Georgian townhouse, the business seamlessly intertwines gourmet dining, curated wine experiences, and immersive art exhibitions, creating a venue that transcends traditional hospitality. With a proven foundation of organic growth, a dedicated clientele, and significant untapped potential, the establishment stands poised for scalable success under new ownership.  

The current proprietor is divesting their 100% stake to concentrate on alternative ventures, presenting investors with a turnkey operation boasting a projected first-year turnover of £400,000 following its recent expansion. Notable milestones include its recognition as one of Aberdeenshire’s top-rated hospitality venues on Google, a reputation forged through exceptional private events such as weddings, hen parties, and curated art exhibitions. Remarkably, this growth was achieved without any advertising expenditure, relying instead on word-of-mouth referrals, a loyal customer base, and the venue’s photogenic allure, which organically drives social media engagement.  

The business operates as a multi-faceted destination across four floors of its historic premises. The ground floor features a 32-seat wine bar and restaurant, where seasonal dishes are paired with an eclectic wine list. The basement houses a 30–40-seat cocktail bar adorned with a snug area, while the second floor offers a private dining room accommodating up to 40 seated guests or 70 standing, complemented by a fully equipped kitchen. An outdoor heated beer garden provides additional seating for 20–30 patrons, ensuring year-round appeal.  

Situated between two of Aberdeen's cultural centres, the venue benefits from proximity to cultural landmarks, ample parking, and a clientele predominantly comprising women aged 24–44. These guests are drawn to the establishment's commitment to tailored experiences, whether through intimate wine tastings, vibrant open mic nights, or exclusive art showcases.

The current owner’s planned handover period ensures a seamless transition, allowing new ownership to build upon existing foundations while injecting fresh vision. In a city celebrated for its heritage and vibrant arts scene, this opportunity is uniquely positioned to thrive as a destination where creativity and commerce converge. For discerning investors seeking a dynamic, culturally enriched asset with robust growth prospects, this acquisition stands as an unparalleled opportunity.
