Contemporary Cocktail Bar & Eatery–Glasgow’s Southside

Agilis Advisory is delighted to present a rare opportunity to acquire a truly standout hospitality venue in the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant Southside. Situated in the ever-popular Shawlands area, this beautifully transformed restaurant-bar began life as a traditional chippy and now offers one of the city’s most inviting, story-rich dining experiences.

With white-painted brickwork, marble tables, and a clean, contemporary aesthetic that strikes just the right balance between stylish and approachable, this venue has become a local favourite. Inside, guests enjoy high-end handcrafted cocktails, a rotating small plates menu refreshed every 6–7 weeks, and warm, knowledgeable service that shares the story behind every dish and drink.
The transformation from historic chip shop to destination cocktail and food venue has been celebrated far and wide, with glowing coverage in The Herald, Glasgow Live, The List and Glasgow Times. It’s a place steeped in local culture and character, yet firmly at the forefront of modern Glasgow dining.

This business has built a loyal following both online and in person. It boasts 4.9 stars on Google, a strong social media presence with over 4,000 Instagram followers, and a professionally designed website with a built-in reservation system – making it easy for regulars and newcomers alike to discover and book their visit.

Key Highlights:
• Well-Established and Highly Regarded: 5-star hygiene rating and excellent customer feedback.
• Flexible Format: Bar, restaurant, and takeaway model with indoor and external seating potential.
