LOCATION

The Crown Creighton Bar occupies a prominent trading location on Duke Street in Dennistoun.

Dennistoun is in Glasgow’s east end, to the north of the River Clyde and in recent years has benefited from extensive re development with many of its residents now being students or young professionals taking advantage of what this bustling area has to offer. Located only 1 mile from the City Centre and the Merchant City (regarded as one of the main licensed circuits in Glasgow) Dennistoun offers a host of local amenities. Many tourist and sporting attractions are close by including Celtic Park, Sir Chris Hoy Stadium, Tollcross Swimming Arena, Emirates Arena, Glasgow Cathedral and Peoples Palace. Strathclyde and Caledonian Universities are also within close proximity along with Glasgow Green and West Brewery. The area is renowned for its café and restaurant culture with a wealth of other pubs and restaurants within walking distance such as the famous Coia’s Café (one of the most renowned Italian restaurants in Glasgow).

Dennistoun has excellent commuting links via bus, train & car via the M8 motorway or directly from the city centre via Duke Street. The train station is within close proximity to the pub and a regular bus service on Duke Street.

THE BUSINESS

The sale of the Crown Creighton Bar offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire what can only be described as a real Glasgow “institution”, that has been owned and operated by the same family for more than 70 years.

Over the years this well-established business has built up a strong reputation within the busy licensed circuit in Dennistoun and is supported very well benefiting from continued local clientele.

Due to its proximity to Celtic Park the pub is busy during the football season and shows most sporting events via Sky Sports, TNT and Premier Sports in both bars.

Previously the pub also had live music and karaoke on a Friday night, however this could easily be re-introduced by a new owner, should they wish.

Opening Hours: 11am – midnight, 7 days a week.

With its location, condition and reputation this pub would suit either a private owner looking to get into this busy area or for a multiple operator looking to add to their existing portfolio.
