$ 249,000
A premier turn-key acquisition opportunity in the vibrant heart of downtown Santa Cruz. This unique sports bar is in a rapidly developing coastal corridor, the establishment benefits from high foot traffic, an established live music permit, and a desirable outdoor seating area. This recently remodeled facility includes all essential components for immediate operational success, including an ABC license. This is a rare chance to step into a fully equipped, professionally designed food service space with new equipment and a recent remodel. With a distinguished 32-year history as a cornerstone of the local hospitality scene, the location boasts a loyal customer base of neighborhood regulars.
