New occupants are being sought for an empty bar and restaurant in Dundee’s West End.
The Maker on Perth Road, formerly known by several names including the Hunter S Thompson, Drouthy’s, The Wild Rover and Mayfly, was most recently run by 71 Brewing.
The firm took over the site in 2023 and ran it for just over a year before it closed in February this year for what it called a “refurbishment”.
However, the venue has not reopened since and has now been put on the market.
Cornerstone Business Agents, which is marketing the property for lease, says the site occupies a “prominent trading location on the Perth Road”.
The listing says: “A huge opportunity therefore exists for an experienced bar/restaurant operator to acquire a well-positioned site in arguably the best licensed trade circuit in Dundee.”
The property’s commercial kitchen was refurbished in 2018, and it also features a basement bar, which can be accessed via a separate entrance.
This additional bar can be used for functions, meetings and as an overflow space.
According to Cornerstone, the property is available on a leasehold basis.
71 Brewing has been approached for comment.
The Courier has taken a look at eight Dundee pubs and clubs that could be given a new lease of life.
