Description
This 2,278 SF location will lease for $5,000 per month on a new 5 year lease with one 5 year option to extend. All of the venue’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and Type 48 Liquor License will be included in the sale. An estimated $3k in inventory will be sold at cost at close in addition to purchase price. The venue boasts a recent $350k remodel, with full plumbing and electrical being renovated down to the studs. The facility owns its pool table and ice machine, and has a walk-in keg cooler, 16 beers on tap, 9 flat screen TVs, 7 high top tables and 2 booths. The juke box is on a 50% split.
Currently absentee owner. Could benefit from hands on owner and expanding hours.
Nearby venues often attract patrons with themed nights, pool tables, and late-night hours, appealing to the same crowd looking for a laid-back yet social atmosphere. However, many competitors lack the combination of consistently rotating events, upscale touches, and wide drink selections, giving this spot an edge in standing out within a densely packed bar scene.
As the venue is absentee operated, it could benefit from a hands on owner-operator with hospitality industry experience, and potentially, extended hours. The bar’s strong following for its energetic nightlife, themed entertainment, and diverse drink selection opens up multiple avenues for growth -ranging from hosting larger-scale events to expanding hours or partnering with local brands and artists. With its distinctive vibe and loyal crowd appeal, the venue is well-positioned to tap into the area’s dynamic, socially driven clientele and evolving nightlife trends.
