Turnkey Lake-Area Bar & Restaurant for Sale – North Texas Established,
Business Description
PK Ice House is a high-energy lake-area bar and restaurant uniquely positioned near Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas. More than just a place to eat and drink, it operates as a destination entertainment venue serving both loyal locals and the steady flow of lake visitors, RV park guests, and seasonal homeowners.
The business blends a laid-back Texas Ice House atmosphere with large-scale event capability. It features a spacious indoor/outdoor setup, full bar, commercial kitchen, and a dedicated entertainment area capable of hosting live music, themed events, private parties, tournaments, and community gatherings. Unlike traditional small-town bars that rely solely on daily food and beverage traffic, PK Ice House has built a strong event-driven revenue model.
Signature events include live music nights, crawfish boils, chili cook-offs, holiday parties, music bingo, themed festivals, and high-volume summer weekends. These events consistently increase average ticket size and drive repeat visits. The venue has demonstrated the ability to scale revenue significantly during peak lake season, creating substantial upside for an owner prepared to capitalize on spring and summer demand.
PK Ice House has established a recognizable brand identity with a strong social media presence and active customer engagement. Its marketing strategy emphasizes energy, community involvement, and interactive experiences, which has created a loyal customer base and strong word-of-mouth reputation. The business benefits from limited direct competition in the immediate lake area for a venue that combines full-service dining, bar service, and live entertainment under one roof.
The operation includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, bar infrastructure, kitchen equipment, event-related assets, and established vendor relationships. Systems are in place for events, promotions, and seasonal marketing, allowing a new owner to step in and scale operations quickly. The layout supports multiple revenue streams including food service, bar sales, live music cover charges, event ticketing, tournaments, and private bookings.
The location near a major Texas recreational destination provides built-in traffic and strong seasonal growth potential. With strategic marketing, expanded operating hours, additional private events, catering opportunities, and optimized pricing strategies, revenue can be significantly increased. The foundation is established; the opportunity lies in maximizing peak season performance and refining off-season strategy.
This is an opportunity to acquire a branded, operational, event-focused lake-area bar and restaurant with substantial summer upside, strong community roots, and the infrastructure to grow into a premier entertainment hub for the region.
