Where it sits

Glasgow West End — busy on every side

two minutes from the underground · a pub at the door

Two minutes from Partick Subway, a pub directly across the road, and the steady West End footfall that has carried us since 2022. This isn't a sleepy corner — it's a stage.

Existing booking pipeline — birthdays, weddings, corporate hires. Two flexible spaces (Viper Room + main café).

Daily café trading

Tue–Sun service. Walk-in trade, takeaway, and active partnerships with Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat and Milzo.

Healthy-food / fitness pivot

Glasgow's healthy-food market is growing. The kitchen, brand and venue can pivot to protein bowls, gym partnerships, or wellness events.

Delivery & catering

Catering orders are a meaningful revenue line. The website handles bookings end-to-end. Scale by lifting marketing spend.

Why we're selling

We're relocating — the business is not the problem

The owners are moving, which is the only reason this is on the market. The kitchen still hums, the regulars still come, and the playlist still plays. Everything that's needed to keep trading from day one is included.
