Edinburgh: A popular pub on Leith Walk, the Dog House, is now on the market just two years after it opened. It’s a bit of a shocker, right?
This bar was all about being inclusive and welcoming. It took over from the Mouse Trap and had a big makeover in 2023. But now, it’s listed for sale on Star Pubs.
Interestingly, Google has it marked as “permanently closed.” That’s a bummer for fans of the place. It was known for its friendly vibe, making it a great chance for someone wanting to dive into the pub scene.
The listing describes the Dog House as more than just a pub; it’s a lifestyle. With its quirky decor and loyal crowd, it’s a perfect spot for a new owner to bring fresh ideas.
Located in a bustling area with around 15,611 adults, the bar attracted a mix of young and midlife patrons. It’s available on a three-year tenancy, which could be a solid opportunity for the right person.
There’s potential for live entertainment and a good selection of drinks, including popular beers and cask ales. If you’ve got experience in running a pub, this could be your moment.
Owner Tony Pert had a vision when they opened, wanting to create a safe space for everyone, especially the LGBTQ+ community. Their slogan, “Where the misfits fit,” really captured the spirit of the place.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to take this pub to the next level, now’s your chance to step up!
