$ 199,000
Iconic SF Neighborhood Diner – Nearly 50 Years of Success & $1.98M Annual Revenue RRC#: 5141 Asking Price: Offered at $199000 Location: San Francisco Annual Revenue: $1,987,265 Annual Cash Flow: Monthly Rent: $8,500 Listing Description: Step into one of San Francisco’s most enduring restaurants—an iconic neighborhood landmark serving locals and visitors since the 1970s. This beloved diner is woven into the city’s cultural fabric, offering comforting, home-style fare in a classic retro setting that captures the timeless charm of Americana with a distinctly San Francisco spirit. The neighborhood—one of San Francisco’s most iconic—has even more to be excited about with the grand reopening of a fully restored historic theater. With nightly performances, residencies, and special events drawing steady crowds, surrounding businesses, especially restaurants, are poised to benefit from the renewed energy and vibrant foot traffic this revival brings to the area. The diner enjoys exceptional visibility, constant pedestrian flow, and a loyal customer base built over decades—an advantage that simply can’t be replicated. The business operates efficiently with proven systems, experienced staff, and generations of repeat guests. While its vintage character remains part of the charm, there’s significant upside potential through light modernization, menu updates, or extended hours. Adding a liquor license could further boost revenue and enhance both brunch and late-night service offerings.

Mars Bar & Restaurant – Iconic SoMa Venue with Full Liquor & Entertainment License, Spacious Patio RRC# 5076 Location: 798 Brannan Street, San Francisco Description: Incredible opportunity to acquire Mars Bar & Restaurant, a beloved San Francisco institution and premier hospitality destination in the heart of SoMa. Located at 798 Brannan Street, this high-visibility corner property has been a neighborhood staple since 1994, known for its welcoming atmosphere, creative cocktails, flavorful food, and one of the city’s most popular and spacious outdoor patios. The approximately 2,000 square foot interior features a stylish bar, full-service kitchen, and seating for up to 100 guests indoors. The expansive outdoor patio—a rare asset in San Francisco—comfortably seats 70+ patrons, making the space ideal for happy hours, weekend brunch, corporate gatherings, and private events. The venue also includes a versatile back lounge with a pool table that converts into a banquet table or DJ platform, along with a dedicated DJ booth, making it well-suited for both casual and upscale programming. The total event capacity is approximately 250 guests. The business is offered turnkey, including all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, along with a Type 47 full liquor license (allowing service until 2am) and a full entertainment license—making this one of the few venues in San Francisco licensed and ready for late-night programming. The surrounding area is home to several major tech companies, including Airbnb, and the return-to-office trend is gaining momentum throughout 2025. In addition, a number of AI and technology firms have recently signed new leases nearby, signaling renewed confidence in the SoMa office market. As a result, weekday foot traffic has increased noticeably, with lunch and early evening business trending upward. The kitchen is fully equipped with a commercial hood, range, refrigeration, and ample prep space. Mars Bar has built a loyal and diverse customer base of professionals, locals, and visitors. It’s well-regarded for its lively event calendar, which includes Taco Tuesdays, weekend DJs, salsa dancing, comedy nights, and other rotating activities. The business consistently receives excellent online reviews on Yelp, Google, and TripAdvisor. More than just a business, this offering represents a piece of San Francisco’s hospitality history. Housed in a historic 1906 building, the space reflects classic SF charm while remaining relevant through decades of change. For buyers interested in continuing the name, Mars Bar may qualify for San Francisco’s Legacy Business Program, offering further protection and support. The business is qualified to become a legacy business with keeping the name and the landlord will provide a new long-term lease at a highly competitive base rent of $3,000/month, offering unmatched value in a central SoMa location.
