Pub Operator Opportunity: Mines Tavern, Douglas

If you’ve ever dreamed of running your own pub, The Mines in Laxey could be the opportunity that turns that dream into your day‑to‑day reality. This is a self‑employed business opportunity through the Okell’s Independent Partnership — not an employed role — giving you the freedom to run your own pub with the support of a respected local brewery behind you.

The Partnership

As an Okell’s Independent Partner, you operate as your own boss. You earn a market‑leading percentage share of turnover, from which you pay your team, insurance and accountancy costs. Okell’s covers the remaining operational costs, allowing you to focus on running a great pub, building a loyal community and shaping the business in your own style.

About The Mines Tavern

Located just moments from Laxey tram station, The Mines is a charming pub full of traditional Manx character. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, instantly making visitors feel at home. With its quirky tram-shaped bar, cosy interiors and thoughtfully placed Manx touches throughout, it offers a unique setting to relax and unwind. Loved by locals and visitors alike, The Mines is a true community hub and a wonderful place to enjoy a pint while soaking up a slice of Manx heritage.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

You’ll have the freedom to run the business your way, backed by Okell’s support, guidance and brewery expertise. This is your chance to create a thriving pub that reflects your personality, your leadership and your vision.
