Business & Property Description
The bar and property, constructed in the 1930’s, is 2.3k square feet on a 2.6 square foot parcel that has onsite parking and an office on the second level. The real estate, as well as all of the business’s furniture, fixtures, equipment (with the exception of some game that are on a revenue split agreement), and Type 48 Liquor License are included in the sale. Though no food service is required, the building once had a kitchen with a hood that a new owner may seek to renovate. The bar does not have a beer tap system, but has extensive refrigeration.
This is the quintessential local dive bar and tavern whose patrons likely visit for its close proximity to their home or work, its music and entertainment offerings, its convivial vibe, and its unique level of comfort and friendliness. As a result of these attributes, and the bars storied history, this bar has a number of hard to replicate advantages over alternative entertainment choices.
As the bar has no known restrictions on the liquor license (other than perhaps no dancing permitted – which has not been confirmed), there are a number of avenues in by which new owners may potentially grow business. As the building used to have a kitchen, new management may rebuild one and implement food service; even without a kitchen they may offer patrons weekend outdoor barbeque, burgers, steaks and more, or potentially foods that do not require a hood to prepare. New owners can also promote the venue to a wider group of patrons by hosting events around sports, holidays, implementing karaoke nights, etc. They may also capitalize on the on-premise billboard signage, while converting the facility’s underutilized rooms (due to its unique layout) to revenue generating areas or alluring lounge areas.

Sport And Work Boat Manufacturing - 60 Years
$ 1,295,000
CF : $ 129,556
This celebrated Southern California based high performance sport and work boat manufacturer boasts nearly 60 years of goodwill. The second-generation family-owned company’s watercrafts, which are between 20 and 42 feet in length, are fixtures in the professional diving, fishing, surfing, research, patrol and sheriff departments due to their durability and ability to remain highly stable in heavy swells. As a result of their utility and functionality, these vessels are ever present in offshore waters from Alaska to Mexico and Hawaii. The company sells direct to the consumer and regularly maintains a 1-2 year deposit-based waitlist. This business operates out of a production yard with an office, and several enclosed materials rooms and work sheds. The office and yard lease for $6,805 per month on a secure lease with options to be negotiated. All of the company’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and goodwill be included in the sale. The seller will agree to work for a reasonable transition prior, and may consider remaining the ‘face’ of the company for an agreed upon period depending on the overall offer and terms. While the commercial boating industry is a competitive one, few manufacturers could hope to have the name recognition and respect that this company has established in its vessels. In fact, despite being build constructed and marketed for their functionality, the company has seen a dramatic increase in well healed leisure boat clients that appreciate the boat’s durability and performance characteristics in the large swells near the Channel Islands, Alaska and Hawaii. Needless to say, few category competitors can claim to possess comparable hull designs, craftsmanship or customized options that allow this firm to attract leisure boaters to their commercial crafts with few amenities! New management may take this legendary company, which is the epitome of a mom-and-pop lifestyle business, in any number of directions to realize its significant growth potential. To begin, the company has operated at near capacity for its entire existence. In fact, customers anticipate a 1-2 year waitlist, and know they can only order limited units at a time due to customer demand coupled with the production yard’s limitations. Historically, they can only accommodate 12 to 24 boats per year based on order sizes (they can do 2-20’ boats per month, but a 40’ unit may take over a year). With a new conversion facility, supply can not only be streamlined, but significantly expanded at a reduced cost. Also, each craft is custom made, which necessarily impacts efficiencies and costs. New operators may wish to continue in this tradition, but they may also carry an inventory the most popular ‘staple’ models or they may choose to outsource their unique fiberglass hull production component - where an estimated 25% cost savings may be realized if the hulls, which constitute 40% of the cost (at 50% of the man hours), are created via vacuum infusion injection molding instead of a manual method. Additional savings may be realized by purchasing key materials, resin and components in bulk. From a sales perspective, the company hasn’t truly actively promote its vessels as they have lacked the capacity to meet demand. If they had a larger production facility and could carry inventory they could attend professional and personal craft trade shows, establish a retail presence by opening a showroom or establishing a dealer network. If they were capitalized, they could not only stock ready-made units, but they also could self-finance orders (rather than rely on progress payments or commercial loans) which local municipality and government contracts require. Being capitalized or having a sufficient credit facility, coupled with the ability to scale production, also opens the door for local and federal agencies (e.g. harbor patrol, fish and wildlife, the coast guard, etc.). that approach them to purchase several units at a time, without progress payments. Commercial fishing, diving, harbor patrol and other clients have expressed an interest in leasing units, however, the company does not have the conversion facility or capital to cover construction costs, let alone have the bandwidth to set-up and manage a lease program. New management may launch a specific division to focus on this. For some of these clients whose needs are harbor, bay or coastal based, new operators may also consider developing a lighter, less formidable bay boat hull design. Finally, since mass production hasn’t been possible, no efforts have been made to become an approved vendor for federal, military or Department of Defense contracts. If the company were an approved vendor, or if were owned by a qualifying party favored in such contracts (female, minority, veteran) additional avenues for growth may exist.

$ 295,000
CF : $ 23,234
This style restaurant and bar offers a buyer an unbelievable location and at an attractive lease rate from which to launch their own concept, or to build upon its already proven concept. The sale comes complete with a liquor license, a bar, a full kitchen, as well as a patio that alcohol can be served on.

The 1,500 square foot venue plus patio leases for $3,098 per month on a lease until August 31, 2028 with options to be negotiated. It is estimated that the venue can seat up to 30 patrons inside, with an additional 26 on the covered patio. The business’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and Type 47 Liquor License will be included in the sale. As a limited number of restaurants and entertainment venues exist in the highly popular area, competition is considered to be medium. The venue’s location lends itself to cater to a business lunch hour and happy hour crowd, as well as separate evening and night crowd, while its versatile layout lends itself to indoor and outdoor dining as well as take-out and delivery service. This restaurant and bar benefits from a proven concept with attractively low overhead. As a result, new management may wish to maintain the concept and operation ‘as is’ with modifications as they deep appropriate, or new management may wish to capitalize on the prime location, versatile layout, liquor license and outdoor patio to capitalize on the area’s popularity by implementing an alternate concept. Liquor could historically be served on the patio until 12 am on Friday and Saturday and 11 pm Sunday to Thursday. Liquor can be served inside until 2 am daily. These times, together with the space’s dimensions covered by the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and on file with the state Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) should be confirmed during diligence.
