Rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out Type 48 bar, lounge and nightlife venue in the heart of Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard entertainment corridor. This approximately 2,468 SF venue combines one of the most desirable liquor-license categories in California with approved late-night operating capabilities, an established entertainment buildout and exceptionally attractive occupancy costs for a Hollywood nightlife location. Originally opened in 2015 as Adults Only, ownership recently reimagined the concept and refreshed the facility as Detour.
The premises benefits from a Type 48 Full Liquor License permitting full alcoholic beverage service until 2:00 AM, together with approved after-hours operation through 4:00 AM. The venue has an approximately 300-person occupancy capacity, stage capacity of approximately 60, nine VIP booths plus two high-top areas, four bathrooms and an established professional DJ configuration.
The opportunity is particularly compelling because an incoming operator can avoid much of the cost, delay and uncertainty associated with creating a nightlife venue from a conventional retail shell. The existing layout and infrastructure are designed to accommodate a variety of concepts including an upscale cocktail lounge, nightclub, dance club, DJ-driven venue, Latin or Afrobeats concept, EDM/house venue, celebrity-backed hospitality concept, private-event venue, members-style lounge or hybrid entertainment concept.
Potential revenue channels include bottle service, VIP table minimums, ticketed DJ nights, private events, brand activations, industry events and after-hours programming. Equally important, the economics are difficult to replicate.
Current total monthly rent is approximately $8,240 with no monthly NNN charges stated in the offering package. The existing lease extends through April 30, 2035, with one additional five-year option and 3% annual increases.
For an experienced operator, the combination of Hollywood location + Type 48 license + 4 AM after-hours approval + 300-person capacity + long-term lease + turnkey infrastructure creates a compelling platform that would be difficult, costly and time-consuming to reproduce from scratch.

About the Business

- Employees
- 9 (2 Full-time, 6 Part-time, 1 Contractor)
- Facilities & Assets
- The approx. 2,468 SF premises are configured as a sophisticated nightlife operation with a dramatic arrival, dedicated bar and lounge areas, VIP seating, DJ area and stage/event capability. The offering package depicts an extensive contemporary buildout with integrated lighting, lounge seating and dedicated VIP configuration. The opportunity includes the existing nightlife infrastructure and specified DJ equipment, including two Pioneer CDJ-3000s and a Pioneer DJM-A9 mixer. The venue offers approximately 300-person occupancy, a 60-person stage capacity, nine VIP booths plus two high tops and four bathrooms.
This is substantially more than a liquor-license acquisition. A buyer is acquiring the opportunity to step into an already developed entertainment environment with the physical infrastructure necessary to begin repositioning and programming the venue without undertaking the lengthy ground-up development process normally associated with a Hollywood nightclub. - Website

- Market Outlook / Competition
- 7065 1/2 Sunset Boulevard sits in one of Los Angeles' best-known entertainment districts and draws from Hollywood, West Hollywood, Hollywood Hills and the broader Los Angeles nightlife market. Hollywood combines tourism, hotels, restaurants, nightlife and a substantial residential population. Unlike a conventional neighborhood bar that depends primarily upon nearby residents, this location operates as a destination venue drawing customers based upon programming, DJs, promoters, private events, celebrity-hosted events and nightlife branding. The principal competitive advantage is the combination of the address and existing operating platform. Few available Hollywood spaces offer a comparable combination of a Type 48 license to 4AM, late-night entitlement, VIP/bottle-service configuration, DJ infrastructure and an existing long-term low rent lease.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The greatest opportunity for a new owner is to keep OR rebrand and reprogram the venue rather than substantially rebuild it. An experienced operator could introduce a new identity and programming calendar while utilizing the existing bar, lounge, VIP, stage and DJ infrastructure.
• Expand VIP and bottle-service sales.
• Develop recurring DJ, house, EDM, hip-hop, Latin or Afrobeats programming.
• Establish promoter partnerships and celebrity- or influencer-hosted nights.
• Increase private-event and corporate buyouts.
• Host entertainment-industry events, album releases and product launches.
• Develop ticketed special events and maximize the approved after-hours operating window.
Because the existing improvements substantially reduce the physical barriers to entry, capital can potentially be directed toward branding, talent, programming, marketing and customer acquisition rather than major construction.
