5,000 sqft Turn Key Bar with Event Space & Growth Potential
Bradford Corner Bar is a long-established restaurant and sports bar located in Bradford, Pennsylvania, operating under the same family ownership for over 38 years. This sale includes both the operating business and the stand-alone two-story commercial real estate totaling approximately 5,000 square feet.
The first floor features a fully updated dining room and sports bar with modern finishes, upgraded flooring, updated lighting, and a redesigned bar area. The space includes a full draft system, POS system, commercial kitchen equipment, walk-in cooler, fryers, freezers, and multiple flat-screen televisions. The layout supports both table service and bar seating, making it well suited for casual dining, sports viewing, and themed events.
The property also includes a private outdoor deck and a spacious second-floor event hall complete with its own bar, restrooms, and stage platform. This upstairs space provides significant opportunity for expanded private bookings such as weddings, receptions, live entertainment, and community events.
Ownership has completed extensive capital improvements throughout 2024 and 2025, including a new lifetime roof, upgraded HVAC systems, renovated restrooms, new kitchen equipment, updated draft and soda systems, a new POS system, electrical upgrades, interior and exterior repainting, and parking lot improvements. These upgrades position the business as a true turn-key opportunity with reduced near-term capital needs.
The business currently operates limited afternoon and evening hours, typically opening at 2 PM on weekdays and noon on weekends, with closure on Mondays and Tuesdays. Expanding operating hours to include lunch service, additional weekday operations, and increased utilization of the upstairs event space presents clear opportunities for revenue growth.
With strong community recognition, an established customer base, and both business operations and real estate included in the sale, Bradford Corner Bar presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking a well-known local establishment with meaningful upside potential.
