Business Description
Opportunity To Acquire 1 of Kane County's Premier Downtown Hospitality Venues
Popular Longtime Historic Downtown Pub w/Gaming Far Northwest Suburb of Chicago - Nearly $1.1M In Sales!

"A Rare Opportunity to Acquire One of Kane County's Premier Downtown Hospitality Venues"

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Located on the main street of a thriving historic downtown of a far NW suburb of Chicago, this long-established independent pub (bar & grill) has been serving loyal guests for nearly 2 decades. Beautifully built out & fully equipped, this impressive 4,500 sqft venue offers everything an operator needs to step into a proven, revenue-producing facility.

Its spacious layout features 2 completely separate full-service bars, including a vibrant main-floor pub & a private upstairs bar with its own dedicated street entrance - creating multiple revenue centers under one roof. Its 2nd level is ideal for private celebrations, sports watch parties, live entertainment, fundraisers, corp gatherings, networking events & countless other special occasions. Combined occupancy exceeds 300 guests, making this one of the area's largest & most versatile suburban downtown hospitality venues.

The current owners have invested heavily in refreshing the concept, menu, branding & overall guest experience while preserving the character & charm that made this establishment a longtime local favorite. The operation is fully staffed, professionally equipped & currently generating nearly $1.1 million in annual sales, with incredible upside from 6 video gaming terminals recently added, creating a brand-new, high-margin ancillary revenue stream that requires virtually no additional labor.

This one-of-a-kind bar & grill offers the warm atmosphere guests expect from a classic neighborhood pub, featuring exposed brick walls, attractive wood finishes, abundant televisions, inviting bars, multiple dining areas & a fully equipped commercial kitchen.

Included in this asset sale is an extensive inventory of quality FF&E including numerous mounted televisions, seating for hundreds of guests, multiple bars w/draft beer systems, beverage coolers, dedicated keg cooler, walk-in cooler, prep refrigeration, walk-in freezer, large hood, 6-burner range w/oven, grill, flat top, fryers, POS terminals & much more.

As an independent with no franchise fees, royalty obligations or transfer fees, a buyer has complete flexibility to continue continue operating the current concept or can introduce their own take of a gastropub, sports bar, tavern or taproom, the infrastructure is already in place.

Whether you're an experienced restaurateur looking to expand, an owner-operator seeking a premier location or an investor searching for an established hospitality asset with multiple revenue streams, this offering presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully operational venue with substantial replacement value.

Businesses offering this combination of size, character, location, licensing, 2-bar configuration, event capabilities & immediate revenue potential seldom become available.

Prime retail space in an attractive 2-story historic building in the heart of the city’s historic downtown. Boasts great signage, exceptional main street frontage, high visibility, strong pedestrian/vehicle traffic & convenient public parking, including a large city parking garage for both daily guests & large private events.

Perfectly situated along the community's historic main street, the venue benefits from daily shopping, nightlife & entertainment as well year-round community events & festivals that continually drive customers into the district.

Plus, its surrounding downtown area continues to benefit from ongoing redevelopment & public investment, creating an increasingly vibrant destination for dining & entertainment.
