A well-known Scottish football pub has been put on the market.
The bar is offered for sale or lease and comes after the family who operated the pub said they were standing down after more than two decades.
The Scottish Business Agency said the Tavern Bar on Tollcross Road in Parkhead, Glasgow, offers “a real opportunity for either development of the public house under a new owner or experienced tenant operator”.
The agent also said: “The business benefits from high footfall, lounge function hire, growing food offering and busy matchdays, when Celtic play at home and even away.”
“The Tavern Bar offers a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a pre or post-match pint and bite to eat with friends or a lively night out.
“Also just a short distance from the Emirates Arena, Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Celtic Park. This brings a host of benefits to local pubs and bars, as the area becomes a hotspot on sporting events and match days, drawing in fans and visitors looking for a pre- or post-game drink or meal.”
SBE also said: “Fully refurbished in 2024. It is a traditional public bar and lounge and features attractive frontage/exterior and modern decor throughout.
“The owner is seeking offers for the sale of the heritable interest (freehold), going concern. They would also consider leasing the premises to hands-on operator.”
SBA said the asking price for the sale of the Tavern Bar is £250,000 and the lease is £50,000.

This article appears as part of the Money HQ newsletter.
Globally, more voters than ever in history headed to the polls this year, with more than 60 elections representing about half of the world’s population. Elections can fuel short-term emotional behaviour, but we take a medium-term view.
It’s often the case the press is focused more on the candidates than the policies. We must remain disciplined and remember it is fiscal spending plans and regulations that can materially impact markets over the longer term.
Arguably the most important election this year is still to come: Trump versus Harris in the US on Tuesday 5 November 2024. As the campaigning ploughs ahead, three things are becoming increasingly clear: This is likely to be a close election.
