Property Description
Pub Overview
A £200,000 refurbishment is planned to transform the Murrayfield into a premium local pub with a refreshed look and broader appeal. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
About the area
Located on a busy high street in Edinburgh, the Murrayfield benefits from a prime position within easy walking distance of Murrayfield Stadium, drawing in regular footfall from major rugby fixtures and large-scale concerts. With 4,563 adults within a 10-minute walk and over 30,000 within 20 minutes, the pub sits in a well-populated catchment with strong potential for both local trade and event-driven visits.
The current customer base relies heavily on weekend and event-led trade, with limited daytime use. Following refurbishment, the pub will be repositioned to appeal to a broader and more diverse audience, including families and casual diners, while increasing everyday footfall and destination visits. The Murrayfield sits in a competitive but opportunity-rich area, with only a handful of nearby pubs, giving it strong potential to stand out with the right offer.
Demographics
The area offers a strong mix of local residents and event-driven visitors, creating opportunities to build a balanced trading pattern across the week. The refurbishment will help the pub tap into a wider audience, increasing its appeal beyond its current reliance on peak trading times and major stadium events.
