The owner of this well known and highly regarded establishment is transitioning into partial retirement, creating a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, high volume restaurant and bar with strong profitability.

Carson Tap House, located in the oldest wooden structure in Grundy County, blends historic charm with modern appeal. The building dates back to 1858 and features a 66 seat dining room alongside a spacious bar that seats 31, with ample standing room for large crowds.
One of Carson’s most impressive features is its unmatched outdoor entertainment area, truly unique in downtown Morris. The property includes:
• 6,000+ sq. ft. outdoor deck
• Two outdoor bars
• A 500 sq. ft. stage for live music and events
• Large grass area
• Sand area suitable for volleyball or bags
• Seating capacity for 280 guests outdoors

The fully equipped kitchen is designed for high volume efficiency, while the bar layout supports rapid service with three beer coolers, storage for 150 liquor bottles, and 36 draft handles. A private video gaming room with machines provides additional revenue.

Carson’s attracts patrons from a wide regional area and has successfully hosted major events—including live music, cruise nights, and Grundy County Corn Fest gatherings—with attendance exceeding 800 people.

This is a turnkey, seven-days a week operation offering multiple avenues for additional growth, including expanded hours, breakfast service, special events, private parties, and enhanced indoor/outdoor entertainment programming.

The sale includes the transfer of the local and state Class A on-premise and package liquor licenses.

Carson’s is known for its extensive craft beer selection and its reinvented, made from scratch bar menu, featuring homemade appetizers, sauces, and dressings. Prospective buyers are encouraged to visit as customers to experience the delicious food, cold drinks, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere firsthand.

The owner is mostly absentee today, owns the building & happy to either sell the building, along with the business or lease the building to the Buyer & extend a Right of First Refusal.

Qualified buyers may schedule a private, before hours tour of the business.
