The pub offers a traditional setup with ground floor access and is located in the popular Southside area of Edinburgh. It also benefits from student business as it is located near a Edinburgh University campus.
The new lease premium is on offer from £15,000, and £12,000 PA rental.
In terms of the layout, the pub has a single open plan bar with a large central counter, together with a former snug lounge to the front of the property, currently used as a small kitchen.
Stuart Drysdale, of Drysdale & Co, commented: "This is an excellent business opportunity at this time for an independent operator to take on a free of tie lease.
"The locals are eagerly awaiting the re-opening of Jeanie Deans, along with students back in the city who are keen to re-join the social scene".
The location of Jeanie Deans is hoping to appeal to a new potential tenant as it is a small walk away from The Old Town, the Royal Commonwealth Pool and The Meadows.
Owner of the pub for the last five years, Ian Craig, said: "I’m confident that, with their specialist scope, Drysdale and Company can find a tenant for this popular and well located pub. It will thrive with a tenant who is a real people person and has the experience to think creatively about beer and drinks suppliers, perhaps utilising local or artisan suppliers, or a mix of both."
If you have experience in the pub industry and fancy a new challenge within a well-established business, this one is definitely for you."
