Property details
Situated in the historic suburb of Shawlands, Glasgow, approximately two miles south of the River Clyde, The Millwood is located towards the end of Kilmarnock Road. This area, often considered the “Heart of the Southside,” is renowned for its independent restaurants, cafes, bars, and vibrant art scene, making it one of the coolest neighbourhoods and one of the city’s best areas to live and socialise. The newly refurbished pub fosters a community local feel, attracting a diverse audience whilst being part of the bustling drinking circuit in this up-and-coming area. The Millwood is easily accessible, with frequent direct bus routes from Glasgow city centre, close links to the M77 and M8 motorways, and three railway stations within walking distance, enhancing its appeal as a prominent social scene.
The Millwood is a one-room, open-plan corner site featuring an L-shaped layout that has been recently refurbished. Upon entering from the main street, you'll find a galley-style bar straight ahead. To the right of the entrance, opposite the bar, there is a mixture of low-level bench seating and loose tables. On the left side, high-level bench tables provide a fantastic view through the huge windows overlooking the bustling main street. Towards the end of the room, a secluded area offers a variety of seating options, including low-level bench seating, poser tables, and high stools, complemented by a cosy bay window snug area.
This spot provides access to a small, decked beer garden area, fenced off for privacy and equipped with fixed wooden benches and loose tables and chairs. Additionally, the side of the pub, off the main street, has an area designated for a couple of benches with the potential for a pavement license to extend seating to the front, main street area.
