Profitable 3,000 SF Live Music Bar & Entertainment Venue – Turnkey
Business Description
Turnkey 3,000 SF neighborhood bar and live entertainment venue located in the heart of La Mesa, CA. This established business has built a loyal customer base, strong community presence, and proven event-driven revenue model with over $2.1M in gross sales since opening in 2021.
One of the major differentiators is the size of the venue. At approximately 3,000 square feet, the space offers significantly more room and flexibility than many competing bars currently on the market. The open layout comfortably supports live entertainment, dancing, private parties, league nights, and large weekly events while still maintaining the welcoming feel of a true neighborhood pub.
The business features highly consistent weekly programming that drives repeat traffic, including karaoke, line dancing, trivia, bingo, open mic nights, live music, and free pool Sundays. Entertainment is already booked through November 2026, providing immediate continuity and value for a new owner.
Current ownership has invested heavily into the business, including upgraded QSC/JBL sound systems, digital mixer, remodeled interior with roll-up garage door, upgraded walk-in cooler, newer ice machine, and brand-new owned Toast POS systems. Two newly re-felted coin-operated pool tables provide additional cash flow.
Sale includes active Type 48 & 58 CA ABC licenses in good standing with zero violations, full FF&E, entertainment systems, bar buildout, and all owned operational equipment. Recognized by the La Mesa Council as “Business of the Month” during its first year.
Seller is pursuing other ventures. Business name/brand not included in sale.
