30+ Years Landmark Pub Florida 4COP Quota Liquor License Included
Business Description
RARE OPPORTUNITY to acquire a LEGENDARY and ICONIC neighborhood pub and entertainment venue with 30+ YEARS of continuous operation and an unshakable community identity in Hillsborough County, Florida. This is not a restaurant for sale — this is a LIVING INSTITUTION with generational brand equity, a rabid local following, and a brand name that took decades to build.
What sets this business apart from every other bar listing on the market:
Included Florida 4COP QUOTA LIQUOR LICENSE — the state's most valuable and versatile license type — with an estimated secondary market value of $275,000+ in Hillsborough County.
A buyer is not simply purchasing a bar. They are acquiring a fully operating business AND a highly liquid, transferable asset that represents approximately 25% of the total asking price on its own.
The pub operates approximately 4,000 sq. ft. on one of Tampa's highest-traffic commercial corridors, featuring a FULL INDOOR BAR plus a covered outdoor bar — a true second revenue center with full liquor service, flat-screen TVs, and bar seating. Dual bar setups of this caliber are EXTREMELY RARE in the neighborhood bar category and represent a significant capital asset a new operator can immediately monetize.
BEVERAGE-DOMINANT revenue mix with over 77% of sales from alcohol — producing structurally higher margins than food-focused concepts with none of the kitchen complexity.

Bartenders, Servers, Bar Backs and Kitchens Cooks - Facilities & Assets
- The business operates out of approximately 4,000 square feet on one of Tampa's highest-traffic commercial corridors in Hillsborough County. The space features a full indoor bar and a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and a covered outdoor bar — a rare second revenue center complete with full liquor service, flat-screen TVs, and dedicated bar seating. The outdoor bar is permitted for full operation and serves as both a daily revenue driver and a large-event venue. The lease is approximately $10,748 per month.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The Tampa Bay metro is one of the fastest-growing markets in the U.S., with Hillsborough County adding population each year and ranking among the top markets for consumer spending. The surrounding submarket is an established, affluent residential corridor with above-average incomes and high discretionary spending — ideal for a full-service neighborhood bar. The business holds a distinct competitive position that cannot easily be replicated: 30+ years of brand recognition, a live music program no nearby competitor matches, and a loyal multi generational customer base. The Florida 4COP quota liquor license is itself a competitive moat — new entrants face significant cost, time, and availability barriers to obtain one in Hillsborough County. This combination of brand equity, entertainment infrastructure, and licensing creates a defensible market position that would take years and significant capital to replicate.
- Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner inherits a proven platform with multiple identified growth levers. The venue already runs several of the largest outdoor events in the area with the infrastructure and community relationships to support them. Significant upside exists through cover charges, beverage pricing adjustments, expanded private events, and weekend brunch service — all requiring minimal capital investment. A strong and loyal sports following drives some of the highest single-day revenue of the year. Digital marketing and social media remain largely untapped for this well-established venue.
