Downtown Entertainment Complex w/ Real Estate / Louisville Metro Area
Business Description
Unique opportunity to acquire a thriving hospitality and entertainment campus located in the heart of a growing Southern Indiana downtown, directly across the river from Louisville, KY. This multi-venue operation combines a brewery, multiple bars, live-music and event spaces, restaurant service, and short-term lodging into a dynamic “city block” destination that attracts both local patrons and regional visitors.
The business has been carefully developed over the past decade to create a highly diversified revenue mix: award winning craft beer brewed onsite, multiple bars and lounges with strong followings, a popular restaurant with full kitchen, an indoor/outdoor music venue capable of hosting year-round events, and a well-appointed Airbnb property that generates consistent bookings. Together, these elements provide both stability and upside across food, beverage, event, and lodging segments.
Key Highlights
• Prime Location: Situated just minutes from downtown Louisville with excellent drive-time access to major venues, sports arenas, and tourist districts. Customers regularly come from both sides of the river, giving the business a true metro-area reach.
• Multiple Revenue Streams: Brewery taproom, craft beer distribution potential, upscale “dive” cocktail bar concept, full-service restaurant, live music hall, outdoor concert space, and Airbnb lodging.
• Established Brand & Longevity: The operation has become a recognized hub for nightlife, concerts, and community gatherings, with strong brand equity and loyal repeat customers.
• Turnkey Operations: Experienced staff with defined lead roles handle day-to-day floor operations, allowing ownership to focus primarily on oversight, scheduling, and strategic growth.
• Facilities & Real Estate: Sale includes owned real estate, updated brewing and kitchen equipment, concert staging and production gear, and well-maintained historic properties. Significant recent renovations and expansions have created scalable capacity for growth.
• Proven Financial Performance: Consistent profitability with average EBITDA over the past five years of approximately $225K, with 2024 showing $263K as expansions reached maturity. Strong cash flow supports financing options and future growth.
Growth Opportunities
• Expansion of regional self-distribution and wholesale accounts for craft beer brands. Brewery is underutilized with 71% available capacity.
• Further development of concert and ticketed event programming in the indoor/outdoor music hall.
• Leveraging proximity to Louisville tourism and major events to capture additional foot traffic.
• Ability to add private event rentals, festivals, or expanded lodging options.
This is an ideal acquisition for a brewery group, hospitality operator, or investment group seeking a high-profile, multi-venue destination with strong brand equity, diverse revenue streams, and real estate ownership in a rapidly developing downtown corridor.
Financials, photos, and further details are available to qualified buyers with signed NDA.
