BrewDog to open new pub doors to the Fair City public next month

A pub chain is to open the doors of new premises in Perth next month, it has been revealed.

BrewDog, which began in 2007 and hails from Fraserburgh, has confirmed the finishing touches are now being applied to the site in George Street, Perth, and have outlined their reasons for moving to the Fair City.

The company would not divulge the cost of the development but expressed its delight in developing the site in Perth, which was formerly a coffee shop.

BrewDog confirmed food will be served at the Perth site.

A spokesperson said: “We don’t have a confirmed opening date just yet but the team are putting the final touches together for a November opening.

“The bar will employ a team of eight people.”

A planning statement submitted to Perth and Kinross Council by Firstplan on behalf of BrewDog added: “BrewDog have been seeking suitable premises for a bar in Perth for some time to help enhance their presence in the area.

“The BrewDog bars are operated with a strong emphasis on ‘beer education’, specialising in the sampling and tasting of their beers. A limited food menu will be available, primarily comprising cold items such as dry-cured meats, along with a small range of pizzas.

“The premises had sat vacant for some time and the new development represents an opportunity to bring this prominent listed building back into a productive, employmentcreating, long-term viable use that would contribute to the vitality, vibrancy and viability of the centre of Perth.”
