This well-established venue offers a prime opportunity for an owner-operator to take over a thriving business with exceptional potential for growth. With a liquor license extending until 1am, the venue can host up to 100 patrons, both indoors and in the charming Alfresco outdoor dining area. Spread over two levels, the premises includes a stunningly designed interior and exterior, with no expense spared to create a unique and appealing atmosphere that stands out in the area.
The venue also holds a cellar/bottle shop liquor license, enabling walk-in customers to purchase alcohol directly. The upstairs features an elegant event space complete with a separate entrance, dedicated bar, and restrooms, providing ample opportunities for hosting private functions or special nights. There is even space to add a small kitchen, should you wish to introduce your own in-house food service.
However, the business is currently flourishing through a collaboration with a neighboring food provider, allowing customers to order food and have it served at the venue. This arrangement allows for smooth operations without the need for a dedicated kitchen, though the option to introduce food service in-house presents an opportunity for increasing profit margins.
Located on a highly exposed main road, the venue enjoys excellent visibility and foot traffic, making it a focal point of this bustling community of an established eastern suburb of Melbourne. The current owners, who treat this as a side project, have operated the business entirely under management, meaning it is perfectly positioned for a hands-on owner to take the reins and further develop the business’s offerings, particularly in the areas of food and event hosting.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a beautifully fitted-out, fully operational venue in a prime location, offering ample growth potential for a motivated owner-operator.
