Legendary Chicago Nightclub & Bar w/Real Estate ~ Huge Value & Upside!
Business Description
This is a rare chance to own a piece of Chicago's night-life history and with a PPA License already in place there is so much opportunity here! This legendary venue is now up for sale and complete with real estate, business, inventory and a 3 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on the 2nd floor (Great for generating extra income or owner occupant). Owned & operated for 33 years and the current owner in now semi-retired and has scaled back operations to just 3 nights a week and is ready to turn over his hat to the next savvy business owner. No financial statements have been provided by the owner at this time and interested buyers should be prepared to conduct their own due diligence. The property/business is priced accordingly as an appraisal was done in February, 2020 and appraised out for $2,090.000 so this current sales price presents an opportunity for a hands-on operator to build value. Zoned B3-1 ~ With high visibility and an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 vehicles that pass by per day (IDOT), this is a great location for a Southwest side of Chicago bar/nightclub/restaurant to continue on.
