A Sophisticated Restaurant & Wine Bar in Aberdeen

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly regarded wine bar, dining venue and cultural destination in the heart of Aberdeen.

Set within a beautifully restored 18th-century Georgian townhouse, this distinctive business combines a stylish wine bar, seasonal dining, cocktail lounge and creative events space. The venue has quickly built a strong reputation for curated wine experiences, private events and art exhibitions, creating a destination that stands apart within Aberdeen’s hospitality scene.

The business has grown organically since launch and is recognised as one of Aberdeenshire’s top-rated hospitality venues on Google. Impressively, this success has been achieved without any paid advertising, relying instead on word-of-mouth recommendations, repeat customers and strong organic engagement on social media.

Following a recent expansion, the business is projected to achieve a first-year turnover of approximately £400,000. The current owner is selling their 100% shareholding in order to focus on other ventures, offering buyers a fully operational and established hospitality business with excellent growth potential.

Premises & Layout

The venue operates across four floors, providing multiple revenue streams and flexible event space:

Ground Floor: 32-cover wine bar and restaurant serving seasonal dishes paired with a carefully curated wine list

Basement: Cocktail bar with snug seating area for approximately 30–40 guests

Second Floor: Private dining and event space accommodating up to 40 seated guests or 70 standing, with a fully equipped kitchen

Outdoor Space: Heated beer garden with seating for 20–30 guests

Events & Revenue Streams

The venue has become particularly popular for private events including:

• Weddings and receptions
• Hen parties and celebrations
• Wine tastings and curated dining experiences
• Art exhibitions and creative showcases
• Open mic and live performance evenings

Its stylish interiors and historic character also make it a highly photogenic venue, which naturally encourages customer-generated social media promotion.

Location & Customer Base

Ideally positioned between two of Aberdeen’s key cultural districts, the business benefits from excellent visibility, nearby parking and strong footfall. The venue attracts a loyal customer base, particularly women aged 24–44 seeking high-quality social and dining experiences.

Growth Opportunities

There is significant potential for further development, including:

• Introducing structured marketing campaigns
• Expanding corporate and private event bookings
• Developing wine tasting memberships or ticketed events
• Increasing daytime or weekend trading

Transition

The current owner is happy to provide a structured handover period to ensure a smooth transition for the new owner.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful hospitality venue with a strong reputation, multiple income streams and clear scope for growth in one of Scotland’s most historic cities.
