Asset Sale Description
Fully Equipped | Type 47 Liquor License | 4th Street Retro Row
Acquire a fully improved restaurant and cocktail venue in the heart of Long Beach’s celebrated 4th Street Retro Row. Home to The Breakfast Bar, this highly visible location offers an incoming operator the infrastructure, licensing and established neighborhood recognition needed to launch a compelling new concept with substantially less time and capital than a ground-up restaurant development.
The approximately 2,256-square-foot premises features an impressive 48ft glass storefront, seating for 70 guests per the Conditional Use Permit, and a complete commercial kitchen designed to accommodate a broad range of cuisines. The asset sale includes an extensive furniture, fixtures and equipment package, along with a valuable Type 47 ABC license permitting the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits with food service to 1AM.

WHY BUY THIS RESTAURANT?
This is an opportunity to acquire far more than an attractive dining room. A buyer gains an established restaurant location, valuable operating infrastructure, a full-liquor license and a recognizable neighborhood address. Building a restaurant from an unimproved space requires substantial investment, a lengthy process for design, construction, permits, equipment installation and licensing, that foundation is already in place here. An experienced operator can focus its resources on branding, menu, and reopening rather than starting from four walls.
The premises are well suited for a wide variety of concepts, including:
• A chef-driven neighborhood restaurant
• Craft cocktail lounge
• Wine bar or aperitivo concept
• Modern American restaurant
• Mediterranean or Italian dining
• Japanese izakaya
• Elevated brunch and all-day dining
• A boutique hospitality group’s next expansion location
A new operator can build upon the address’s long-standing reputation as a neighborhood breakfast and lunch destination while adding dinner, cocktails, entertainment and late-evening service to capture additional revenue periods.
THE APPEAL OF 4TH STREET RETRO ROW
Retro Row is one of Long Beach’s most distinctive dining, shopping and entertainment districts. Its appeal comes from an authentic mix of independent restaurants, cocktail and wine bars, coffeehouses, vintage shops, specialty retailers and creative businesses.
Unlike a conventional restaurant corridor or shopping center, Retro Row offers customers an experience that unfolds throughout the day: vintage shopping, coffee, dining, cocktails, films, live entertainment and evening socializing. The district attracts a diverse, experience-oriented customer base that values independent businesses, original concepts, thoughtful design, craft food and beverage programs, and genuine neighborhood character. It also benefits from its proximity to Alamitos Beach, Bluff Heights, Bluff Park and the Broadway corridor, broadening its appeal among local residents, creative professionals, the LGBTQ+ community and destination visitors exploring Long Beach.
For an operator with vision, this is a rare chance to introduce the next standout hospitality concept in a district where individuality is an advantage. The combination of a prominent storefront, restaurant infrastructure, full-liquor license, established location identity and one of Long Beach’s most appealing independent commercial corridors creates a compelling platform for success.
