Description

Ye Olde Frigate Bar, a celebrated establishment with a rich history dating back centuries, is now available for sale.

This iconic property exudes a timeless charm that perfectly encapsulates the maritime heritage of Aberdeen.

The exterior of the bar is constructed from the same durable granite that defines the city's architecture, offering a strong and enduring presence in a prime location.

Location

Ye Olde Frigate Bar is prominently located on the Netherkirkgate, in the heart of historic Aberdeen, Scotland. The property benefits from its prime position in the city centre with the bustling Aberdeen Harbour just a stone's throw away.

Aberdeen is a city in North East Scotland, and is the third most populous city in the country. Aberdeen is one of Scotland's 32 local Government Council areas and has a 2020 population estimate of 198,590 for the city of Aberdeen and a population of 227,430 for the local council area, making it the United Kingdom's 39th most populous built-up area.

The city of Aberdeen is 93 miles northeast of Edinburgh and 398 miles north of London. It is the northernmost major city in the United Kingdom with long sandy coastline and features an oceanic climate, with cool summers and mild rainy winters.

Internal Details
