ID #1791 - Direct Lakefront Restaurant and Bar with RE & LL
Business Description
Exciting opportunity for the next owner/operator.
This direct-lakefront restaurant and bar is now being offered for sale after over a decade of ownership. The sale includes the real estate across two commercial parcels, the operating business, a #33 Plenary Retail Consumption liquor license, and seven boat slips. The property offers an established waterfront restaurant layout with multiple indoor and outdoor dining areas, an underutilized lower level with significant upside, and the kind of lakefront setting that simply cannot be replicated. For an experienced restaurateur or hospitality group, this is the opportunity to create a true lake destination.
The property sits directly on the waterfront across two commercial parcels totaling 1.05 acres +/-. The two-story, freestanding restaurant is a total of 4,976 SF with a total guest occupancy of approximately 200. Seven boat slips provide direct lake access, and 47 +/- on-site parking spaces support the full seating capacity. The property is zoned B-1 Commercial.
After approximately a decade, the current owners are retiring — creating an unencumbered opportunity for a new operator or investor to reposition the property. The property will benefit from updating and investment, and this transition represents exactly the clean-slate moment that experienced restaurateurs and hospitality groups look for.
The lake anchors one of New Jersey’s most active and beloved recreational regions. It and its surrounding communities draw visitors year-round, with summer boating, fishing, and waterfront dining at its peak, and fall foliage and off-season community events sustaining traffic through the shoulder seasons.
The lake region draws from both Morris and Sussex Counties — two of New Jersey’s most affluent and densely populated suburban markets. The community around the lake is a mix of year-round residents and seasonal visitors with significant disposable income and a demonstrated appetite for quality waterfront dining experiences.
Waterfront bar and grill, lakefront seafood and raw bar, summer entertainment venue, private events and marina club, sports bar with dock access, upscale casual dining — the infrastructure, the liquor license, the boat slips, the outdoor seating, and the lakefront address make this the ideal stage for virtually any hospitality vision a new owner brings.
