Listing Description:

Located in the heart of Mill Valley, this restaurant—nestled between Throckmorton Ave and Sunnyside Ave—has operated continuously for nearly 80 years, offering a rich legacy and deep-rooted presence in the community. The beautifully preserved 1948 building showcases timeless character, highlighted by a signature red brick exterior draped in ivy and complemented by soft, filtered sunlight that enhances its warm, inviting atmosphere.

The approximately 4,000 sq ft space is thoughtfully arranged across multiple distinct dining and lounge areas, creating both versatility and ambiance. Two main dining rooms feature hardwood floors and accommodate approximately 65 guests, while an inviting outdoor brick patio offers seating for an additional 24 with umbrellas and heaters. The bar area, accented by white brick walls, provides seating for approximately 20, including bar stools, and flows seamlessly into an adjacent outdoor lounge with space for an additional 15 guests. A dedicated wine room with built-in shelving and refrigeration serves as both functional storage and an intimate private dining space for up to 10 guests.

The bar is fully equipped with a 3-door kegerator with four taps, two 2-door back bar refrigerators, and a service well with sinks. The kitchen is designed to support high-volume service, featuring 12’ and 8’ Type 1 hoods, a double Montague convection oven, a 10-burner range with a 12-inch flat top and ovens below, a salamander, a 2-basket fryer, and two broilers. Additional equipment includes two 3-door sandwich prep units with refrigerated drawers, a walk-in refrigerator, a 2-door reach-in freezer, and an ice machine. A dedicated dish room with a 3-compartment sink and Type 2 hood ensures efficient back-of-house operations.

Additional amenities include a dry storage room, upstairs storage and office space, an employee restroom, and two ADA-compliant restrooms. A Type 47 ABC (full liquor) license is included in the asking price. A new 5-year lease with a 5-year option is available to qualified tenants at $17,000 per month, all inclusive, with no NNN expenses.
