Middletons Bar

Middleton's Bar is a 100% drinks led bar mixed with an eclectic ‘edge of the city’ feel. Students, local working people, families, tourists and football fans travelling to games are all attracted to the bar.

The new operator will need to make this pub the go to sports experience with excellent online marketing and customer service. To compliment the sports offer a regular entertainment programme can be introduced, drawing in crowds and giving customers a reason to stay longer. Middleton's can be further developed without losing the football crowd heart of the bar. There is a need to be attract new customers and these could be young professionals, students, millenials and Gen Z’s all currently strangers to Middleton’s in it’s current under invested form. A basic food offer of paninis, toasties and pizzas/pies could be developed and served from the bar. The new operator will need to be experienced in sports focused hospitality offers, with a drinks background and an understanding of events management, ideally with good knowledge of Scottish football, maximising the proximity of the bar to Hibernian's Football stadium Easter Road.
