High-Volume Gaslamp Bar | $552K EBITA | Rare 2AM License
$ 2,400,000
Confidential opportunity to acquire an established, independently owned themed bar and entertainment venue located in a core Downtown San Diego Gaslamp nightlife and tourism district. The business has operated since 2017 and occupies a historic property with a rare liquor license permitting service until 2:00 AM, a regulatory advantage no longer available to new establishments in the area. Revenue is derived from alcohol sales, food service, private event bookings, and merchandise, with alcohol representing the primary revenue driver. Operations are supported by an experienced management team, with the owner maintaining limited day-to-day involvement. Future owner involvement may vary based on buyer preference and operating strategy. Included in the transaction is a proprietary alcohol brand, currently utilized exclusively within the venue. This represents an additional asset with standalone brand value and potential expansion opportunities, subject to buyer strategy and regulatory considerations. To receive additional information, interested parties must complete the contact form and execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Qualified buyers will be required to submit a Buyer Profile and proof of funds for review. Upon completion and approval of all materials, an introductory call will be scheduled. If the opportunity aligns with the buyer’s acquisition criteria and experience, the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) will be released. No substantive information or additional detail will be provided prior to completion of this qualification process, which is required to demonstrate financial capability and relevant experience to the Seller and to maintain confidentiality and transaction efficiency. The business presents several potential growth avenues under new ownership, subject to buyer strategy, execution, and market conditions. Opportunities may include expanded utilization of private events and incremental themed programming. Additionally, the established brand and differentiated concept may lend itself to potential franchising or multi-location expansion, should a buyer elect to pursue such initiatives. The transaction also includes a proprietary alcohol brand, which may offer additional expansion opportunities, subject to regulatory requirements and buyer objectives. https://tworld.com/locations/California/sandiegocentral/listings/High-Volume-Gaslamp-Bar-552K-EBITA-Rare-2AM-License-
