Particulars
We are pleased to bring to the market this freehold restaurant and bar in North Ayrshire for sale.
Great position, great opportunity for a new owner to grab this well-established and much-loved café and bar in the busy seaside town of Largs. Nestled in prime position on Gallowgate Street, a mere stone’s throw away from the waterfront, this majestic venue (which, when not acting as The Room, goes by the name of Room) is awash with contemporary decor.
This daytime café has a strong word-of-mouth following and a lively cocktail scene by night. It has been a neighborhood stalwart since it opened in 2008, known for cocktails with a Mexican edge, a menu leaning in that direction, and a raucous weekend vibe. It has a list of returning regulars who act as a sort of town crier, as well as nonstop tourists, with both locals and out-of-towners year-round.
The leasehold is available by ‘offers over £675,000,’ and there’s a straightforward opportunity for an experienced operator — or an introduction to the trade if you’re new to the business. It is free of tie, giving a new owner the opportunity to make their own mark on the business.
The room has been a mainstay of the town’s hospitality scene for 17 years, featuring all-day dining, a cocktail bar, and live entertainment every Friday and Saturday night. The food is a Mexican/US mix, although there are more traditional pub classics such as steak pie, scampi, burgers, and pastas, so there’s something for everyone.
During the winter, the place is a little quieter, but it brims with tourists in the summer. The town has two signature events, the Viking Festival and a three-day music festival, that are also a significant trade boost.
Largs is among Scotland’s most ancient seaside resorts, sitting on the Firth of Clyde — only a 50-minute train journey from Glasgow. The Caledonian MacBrayne ferry terminal to Isle of Cumbrae is a short walk from the premises, with a steady flow of pedestrian footfall throughout the year.
The subjects are located on the north side of Gallowgate Street, the principal commercial street in Largs town centre, with good pedestrian footfall. Neighbouring occupiers include Costa, WH Smith, Boots, Greggs, and numerous other independents. A new Marks & Spencer, due for completion in 2025, will further add to the area’s attractiveness.
The town draws a variety of visitors from around the world—holiday makers, golfers, yachting enthusiasts, and ramblers—bringing business to the hospitality sector all year.
The venue was completely renovated to a high standard in January 2025 and has a modern feel.
