We are delighted to announce an exciting new Glasgow bar & restaurant opening soon, having secured a new tenant for the former Velvet Sparrow premises at 3 Cathcart Road in Cathcart, Glasgow. After a short period of marketing we agreed a deal with experienced bar operators Danny Morrow & Len Archbold who are aiming to launch their new venue in the early summer.

They are looking to bring a fresh new energy to the neighbourhood with a bar concept built around community, culture, and great hospitality. Designed to be more than just a bar, the venue will combine live music, DJs, local artist showcases, and vinyl swap events to create a vibrant social hub for the area.

The carefully curated food menu will evolve seasonally, keeping the offering exciting and reflective of the best produce available throughout the year. Guests can also expect an expertly selected wine range available both on and off sales, alongside seasonal cocktails, standout beers, and a drinks programme led by a passionate and knowledgeable team.

With regular events planned throughout the year, Danny and Len’s vision for 3 Clarkston Rd is to create a welcoming destination where good food, music, art, and people come together naturally.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish Danny & Len all the best with their new venture.

In these turbulent times for the licensed trade it is great to see operators continue to show faith in this resilient sector and we are still seeing strong demand for bars and restaurants throughout Glasgow and beyond.

Should you be considering selling your business or if you are a landlord looking to secure a new tenant then please get in touch in confidence.

⭐ SOLD - THE LEFT BANK, GLASGOW WEST END ⭐

Another great deal to announce, with the Left Bank being the latest in a long line of recent Glasgow bar & restaurant deals which we have carried out helping us cement our reputation as Glasgow's premier business agents.

The Left Bank was established by our clients Catherine Hardy and Jacqueline Fennessy back in 2006 and it has become a West End institution. This is the second sale we have handled for them recently, having also sold the Bungo in Glasgow's south side at the tail end of last year, so we were delighted to achieve another successful sale for them.

We received high levels of interest in the sale, with the business eventually being bought by Jim McLaughlin and David Low, both of whom have extensive experience in the licensed trade, so we are delighted to see the business continue in safe hands and look forward to seeing what the next chapter will bring. We would like to take this opportunity to wish Jim & David all the best with the new venture.

We are still seeing strong demand for businesses in Glasgow and beyond so if you are considering selling your business or just want to discuss the current market then please get in touch.

***SOLD - TAJ, PRESTWICK***

We've had to keep this under wraps for a bit but are now delighted to announce that we have sold the long established and exceptional Taj Indian restaurant & bar, which is a Prestwick institution and one of the finest Indian restaurants in Scotland.

Acting on behalf of the Uppal family who have owned it for over 4 decades, we were instructed on a confidential basis and carried out a targeted marketing campaign which resulted in a quick sale being carried out.

The business is in safe hands though having been bought by Chetan Parmar and his partner Ashish who currently own and operate a number of Ashoka restaurants throughout Glasgow, who will continue with the same talented team to provide the same high quality food & service that the Taj is known for.

We continue to see strong demand for Ayrshire businesses, with other recent sales including Souter's Inn in Kirkoswald, Vito's in Prestwick, The Bagel Basket in Largs, so if you are considering selling your business then please get in touch in confidence for a free valuation or just an initial chat.

***SOLD IN A MONTH - ZIBIBBO, Princes Square, Glasgow***

We are delighted to announce the sale of Zibibbo within the prestigious Princes Square, which is arguably Glasgow's finest and most sought after retail and dining destination.

Occupying a stunning courtyard position, adjacent to the Everyman Cinema, these stylish restaurant and bar premises can accommodate 170 covers over courtyard, terrace, bar and inside seating areas.

Having been instructed by our client, the renowned Glasgow restaurateur Alan Tomkins on the 1st October on a confidential basis, we are delighted to actually see the deal complete before the end of the month which is impressive even by our standards!

The sale will see the arrival of Cuvée Glasgow in what will be their second venue after successfully launching in the West End above the Drake Bar at the start of the year, in another swift deal which was also carried out by Smith & Clough.

The venue will serve an exclusive menu of champagnes, premium wines and small plates featuring fresh pasta designed for perfect pairing, and we cannot wait to try it and have no doubt it will be a great success.

We would love to say that all deals happen this quickly however this is the latest in a long line of Glasgow restaurant & bar deals which we have carried out this year, showing the demand for this great city and the confidence in it's hospitality sector which is really encouraging to see.

We are about to come into the busy festive period when bar & restaurant owners will be focusing on their business and maybe don't have the time to think about buying or selling, however if you are considering possibly selling or looking for another venue then we would be delighted to have a chat or even just get a date in the diary for the New Year.
