Colin Beattie has bought the freehold of the building which is currently the Butterfly and Pig at Bridge Street on the corner of Dumbarton Road and Byres Road. The building was first of all sold to Greene King, after the owners of the building, who Greene King originally leased the pub from, went into administration. GK then sold it on to Colin Beattie who did have the lease for a period a few years ago.
The original asking price was just shy of a million. Colin also bought the Partick Tavern six months ago which is currently being refurbished. The condition of the sale, was that Beattie did not sell onto Wetherspoon.
