Turnkey Pub and Restaurant
Business Description
The Layover is a fully built-out, turnkey bar, full kitchen, and event space located in the heart of Downtown Fresno. Designed as a warm, inviting, and versatile venue, it has become a go-to spot for locals, students, creatives, and downtown professionals. The space blends relaxed bar service with community-driven programming, offering a flexible environment for both daily operations and private events.
Operating as a pub, restaurant, and an event venue, The Layover hosts live jazz nights, mixers, private celebrations, themed nights, karaoke, and pop-up events. With a projector setup, sound system, and adaptable seating layout, the space is ideal for profitable private rentals, weekly entertainment, and community gatherings. Its central location, walkable surroundings, and strong social media presence contribute to steady foot traffic and a growing customer base.
This sale includes everything needed to continue operations seamlessly: a fully equipped bar, seating, décor, sound system, projector, POS system, kitchen equipment, inventory, established branding, and digital assets. The Layover also counts on an established jazz night Thursday-Saturday that can be transferred to the new owner.
There is strong potential for expansion through extended operating hours, additional themed nights, enhanced food offerings, partnerships with local artists and musicians, and consistent marketing efforts. The existing identity and customer base give the next owner a solid foundation with plenty of room to grow.
Whether you're an entrepreneur stepping into hospitality, an investor seeking a unique downtown asset, or a seasoned operator looking for a highly adaptable venue with built-in clientele, The Layover presents a compelling opportunity.

• Sale Includes Liquor License Transfer ($40K ish value alone)
• Prime downtown Fresno location
• Recognizable brand with established clientele
• Strong event revenue from private parties, jazz nights, mixers, karaoke, and more
• Fully built-out bar with equipment, sound, lighting, and décor included

The Layover is ready for a new owner to take the reins and continue building on a vibrant, community-driven venue that still has untapped growth potential.
