Property details
Parkway is located 2 miles from Glasgow city centre on Paisley Road West, in the South West area of the city. This location benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to the M8 motorway as well as frequent bus and train services to and from the city centre. The area, situated south of the River Clyde, is a sprawling, leafy, and creative community, known for its vibrant local culture and strong sense of community. The Parkway is surrounded by shops and residential areas, ensuring high foot traffic and making it a central hub for the local community.
Upon entering from the main road, you are welcomed into the bar area, which is anchored around a striking horseshoe-shaped bar. The walls are adorned with TVs, sporting memorabilia, and football scarves, all complemented by astroturf flooring, emphasizing the vibrant sports theme that runs throughout the space. The bar area features a mix of low fixed and loose seating, alongside cosy sofa areas, creating a lively ambiance perfect for live sporting events. Additionally, the pub is equipped with a pool table and darts board, making it a true sports enthusiast’s haven. A commercial kitchen is located to the right of the pub. While there was a previous plan to sub-let this part of the business, it has not been realized but could be a viable opportunity for a new licensee to explore. Behind the bar, a small prep area offers the potential for housing a pizza oven, adding further to the food offering. The lounge area is designed with both fixed and loose seating, complete with its own bar and dance floor. This versatile space can accommodate up to 80 people, making it ideal for private functions, meetings, and events.
One of the golden opportunities for this site is the beer garden at the rear. Completely enclosed and only accessible from within the pub, this space offers a fantastic opportunity to enhance the venue’s appeal and increase sales. With the right vision, this area—equipped with wooden benches and a marquee—could become a major selling point, perfect for outdoor events and gatherings.
There is no private accommodation at this site.

Currently operating as a wet-led venue, this sports-themed bar thrives on live televised sports and team games such as pool, darts, and dominoes. The bar is trading successfully, with a loyal customer base driven by its vibrant sports atmosphere. The function room offers an additional stream of revenue, with the potential for further growth through a targeted marketing strategy. At the rear of the building, a small garden area presents an exciting opportunity. With the right creative vision, this space could be transformed to further enhance the bar’s appeal and increase sales.
The landlord offers an exciting chance to take over a well-established, community-focused pub, soon to benefit from a major refurbishment that will transform it into a vibrant, multi-use venue. They are seeking experienced and well-capitalised licensees who can balance the energy of a lively sports bar with the versatility of a function space, bringing passion and drive to this refreshed setting. They are particularly interested in those with strong local connections or in-depth knowledge of the surrounding area, who can bring creative ideas, a robust marketing strategy, and a flair for attracting custom both locally and from further afield. Above all, the right licensee will be someone who is committed to embedding themselves in the heart of the community, keeping the pub a key part of the local social scene. With a clear focus on increasing footfall, enhancing the day-to-day pub experience, and turning the venue into the go-to destination in the area, this is an outstanding opportunity to take over a revitalised business with enormous potential.
The landlords are set to undergo a full-scale refurbishment, breathing new life into the venue while preserving its character and charm. The project will encompass significant improvements to the main roof, public bar, lounge area, and customer toilets, enhancing both the functionality and overall experience for visitors. Externally, the building will benefit from a comprehensive roof repair, ensuring long-term structural integrity. The front elevation is also due for a fresh coat of paint, with new signage under consideration to boost visibility and street presence. Inside, the public bar will see a thoughtful transformation. A section of fixed seating will be removed and replaced with loose, flexible furniture, creating a more open and welcoming environment. The space will be fully redecorated, blending a sports theme with historical photographs of Glasgow, and showcasing repurposed memorabilia to honour the pub’s heritage. Existing fixed seating will be reupholstered, while new wooden flooring will be laid throughout to elevate the aesthetic. To enhance ambience and appeal, pendant lighting will be added to the windows, contributing to increased kerb appeal. The entertainment offering will be boosted with the addition of three darts lanes, each complete with scoring systems, alongside the installation of new decorative lighting throughout the bar area. The lounge area will also receive a refresh, including new decoration and the installation of double doors, providing improved access to the garden area, helping to create a more connected and versatile space. Attention is also being given to the toilet facilities, ensuring they are modern, comfortable, and fully upgraded. The ladies’ toilets will be completely refurbished, including the installation of new vanity units and washbasins, new flooring, a lowered ceiling, and LED lighting, which will also be extended to the rear access corridor. The gents’ toilets will be similarly upgraded, with the urinals reviewed, walls retiled, and a new ceiling fitted with LED downlighters. A new WC suite and two modern washbasins will be installed, complemented by new flooring throughout.
