Property details
The Kensington Bar is located on Paisley Road West, in the South West area of the city of Glasgow. Ideally located on the route to Ibrox this area provides excellent transport links via bus and train to and from the city centre. This is a sprawling area, south of the River Clyde, known as the leafy, creative, and community-led area, with the Kensington surrounded by shops and local housing providing extensive footfall whilst remaining the hub of the community.
Located on the corner of the main road this community local has the traditional bar and separate lounge with a bar servicing both areas. The main bar, complete with its traditional wooden features is central in this L-shaped room. The fixed low-level seating completes the corner area of the room next to the gents toilets with the cellar hatch taking a prominent position in the centre of the main bar floor. TVs adorn the walls showing all live sporting events and creating the perfect atmosphere. The lounge can be accessed from the bar to the right of the main bar. This galley-style room has a mixture of low-level fixed benches and loose seating along the main panelled wall leading from the ladies toilets on the right towards the lounge's main entrance and a small corner bar that backs onto the main bar.
There is a small, paved area at the front of the pub with tables and chairs predominately used as a smoking area.
There is no private accommodation at this site.

Trading style
Kensington Bar is a traditional wet-led community local with an exceptionally strong footfall due to its prime location on the route to Ibrox – home of Rangers FC. The pub utilises its community's local feel and champions local and televised sports games that contribute to its income. The main trading area has a mixed drinks offer including, premium and standard lagers along with a varied and extensive range of spirits and minerals in order to be diverse and cater to all people. The Kensington Bar has a strong regular customer base and is surrounded by housing and local shops increasing the opportunity to grow trade by ensuring this site is the hub of the local community and promoting charity/community-based events.
The landlords are looking for a dynamic licensee who will grow the business by driving beer volumes through many avenues. The applicant (s) must have the passion and knowledge of running a successful fast fast-paced, high-footfall community local and can balance this. The licensee would be cheerful and sociable and be willing to build a great rapport with the local community whilst being the friendly and welcoming face behind the bar. The ability to cater to different groups of people from different age groups and backgrounds, continuing to support the current customer base whilst attracting other less frequent users is essential. This will need to be done by offering exceptional service along with excellent marketing and an online social media presence as the pub is much loved by the locals and has the scope and location to be the hub of the local community. The new licensee will ideally need to have an understanding of the area along with the demographics that surround the pub.
