Property details
Situated in the heart of Coatbridge, the Whifflet Arms enjoys a high-visibility position on a bustling main road, surrounded by a mixture of local shops, residential housing, and steady footfall. With direct train links to Glasgow Central, regular bus services, and easy access to the M8 motorway, the location offers exceptional connectivity to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, making it ideal for attracting a broad and diverse customer base. Coatbridge itself is a town in North Lanarkshire, just over eight miles east of Glasgow City Centre. Historically industrial, the area has seen renewed energy in recent years, with ongoing regeneration efforts and the ongoing addition of 280 new homes nearby signalling a growing and evolving community.
Upon entering from the main street, guests are welcomed into a stylish, open-plan bar and restaurant that combines the character of a traditional pub with a fresh, modern edge. The focal point is a striking L-shaped bar, finished in sleek dark tones and stocked with a selection of premium products. High bar stools line the bar, while nearby posser tables with matching stools offer casual seating perfect for small groups. Large TVs are strategically placed in the main bar area, providing live sports coverage and enhancing the venue's appeal. The restaurant side offers a more relaxed feel, featuring low-level bench seating and a cosy booth area, designed to cater to families, diners and evening crowds. Warm wooden flooring runs throughout, complementing the modern décor and adding a sense of comfort to the overall design. Positioned behind the bar, the fully equipped commercial catering kitchen ensures a smooth and efficient flow of service. Conveniently located amenities include the gents' toilets near the main bar and the ladies’ facilities within the restaurant area.
A discreet exit beside the gents leads to an attractive outdoor garden space, paved and well-appointed with a mix of bench seating and posser tables. Colourful mural walls add vibrancy, while the option to cover the area during the colder months offers valuable flexibility, boosting year-round trading potential. Although the venue does not have a private car park, the garden area opens directly onto a large local authority car park, providing ample parking and easy access for customers arriving by car.
There is no private accommodation at this site.

Trading style
The Whifflet Arms currently operates on a well-balanced 60/40 split between food and drink, offering a strong premium drinks selection. The bar benefits from a well-established rhythm of the week, creating consistent footfall and a loyal customer base. Throughout the week, guests enjoy live sports and midweek entertainment such as karaoke and quiz nights keep the venue engaging and community-focused, while live performances at the weekend bring added energy and draw in an evening crowd.
The landlords are seeking an experienced and skilled licensee, someone with a solid track record in running a successful pub business and delivering consistently high-quality pub food. This is not a pub for a first-time licensee; it demands experience, confidence, and a proactive approach. However, the landlords would be willing to consider applicants with a strong catering background. The ideal candidate will come with strong cash flow, a well-developed marketing presence, and the ability to maximise social media platforms to drive footfall and engagement. More importantly, they’ll be ready to become part of the community, getting involved at a local level, building relationships, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.
