Auld Cathkin

Auld Cathkin is situated within the vibrant town of Rutherglen, an area well known for its welcoming atmosphere and lively community. Renowned for its food and wine scene, local markets, live music and cultural events, Rutherglen offers the charm of a village while remaining the third largest town in South Lanarkshire. Located just south of the River Clyde and approximately three miles south-east of Glasgow, Auld Cathkin occupies a highly prominent position on the busy A730 road dual carriageway. Surrounded by a variety of local restaurants and businesses, the property benefits from excellent roadside visibility and a steady flow of passing traffic. With established residential neighbourhoods nearby, Auld Cathkin is perfectly positioned to serve as a hub for the local community. The area also benefits from excellent transport links, including Rutherglen’s own railway station, which provides regular services to Glasgow.

The pub operates across two main trading areas. Entrance through the main door leads directly into the bar area. Refurbished in 2023, this L-shaped space features a mix of low-level fixed bench seating, alongside loose tables and chairs, creating a comfortable and flexible layout. The interior combines painted and feature-papered walls with both carpeted and wooden flooring, complemented by high windows that allow plenty of natural light into the room. A prominent bar sits at the corner of the space, conveniently serving all areas and lined with high stools that enhance the traditional pub atmosphere. Just around the corner is a dedicated sports area, complete with a pool table and darts board, while televisions mounted on the walls show live sporting events, creating a lively social environment. A separate entrance leads to a large function room and lounge area, suitable for meetings, private events, and functions for up to 120 guests. This space is supported by a large catering kitchen, offering the potential to introduce catering or light food offerings.

To the front of the pub, there is a small enclosed outdoor seating area with festoon lighting, overlooking the substantial car park located to the front and side of the building.

There is no private accommodation at this pub.
