Shade Pub and Nightclub – Profitable LGBTQIA+ Club
Business Description
Profitable, established bar for sale in Jackson, Mississippi. This is the only full service licensed LGBTQIA bar in the state capital, serving as a recognized safe space and community hub with a loyal, repeat customer base. The bar operates only two nights per week by design, giving a new owner immediate upside potential by expanding hours, adding events, and further leveraging the existing brand.
The business generates solid six figure owner operator earnings at current limited hours, supported by documented financials and consistent historical performance. An engaged owner operator stepping into a management role can capture that income while preserving a trained staff and turnkey operations. All essential furniture, fixtures, equipment, and transfer of liquor license are included in the sale, and the location offers favorable lease terms for a qualified buyer.
This opportunity is ideal for an owner operator who wants both strong income and the chance to steward an important LGBTQIA community institution. Financing options may be available for qualified buyers, including a combination of buyer down payment, third party small business acquisition lending, and potential seller participation. Serious, prequalified buyers can receive detailed financial information and SDE support schedules upon signing a confidentiality agreement.

Open weekends only - Facilities & Assets
- Recently renovated in 2022, this 5,500 sq ft venue includes a showroom, main bar, and dance floor.

The main bar offers seven large screen TVs with centralized control, while the kitchen is equipped with 2022 installed cooking line equipment (griddle range and oven, fryer, TurboChef Sota, freezer, and refrigerator) and a Toast POS system for streamlined operations.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- This is an inclusive safe space with entertainment and fun for everyone focused on the LGBTQIA community. This is the only LGBTQIA+ bar serving liquor in the Jackson metro area. Recognized as one of the best gay bars in the South and known for its rotating cast of drag performers in the Saturday night drag show, popular Friday night karaoke, and the only light up LED dance floor of its kind in the area. It is a state of the art venue and dance club, offering a unique mix of entertainment and community focused events that would be difficult to replicate.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Currently open only on Friday and Saturday nights. A new owner operator could realize meaningful growth by adding operating nights, increasing private events, and expanding programming to capture additional revenue.
