Popular Longtime Historic Downtown Pub W/Gaming

Business Overview:

Popular Longtime Historic Downtown Pub w/Gaming Far Northwest Suburb of Chicago - Nearly $1.1M In Sales!

“A Rare Opportunity To Acquire One of Kane County’s Premier Downtown Hospitality Venues”

This independent bar & grill has served loyal guests for nearly two decades and offers a beautifully built-out, fully equipped, revenue-producing facility. Two separate full-service bars, a vibrant main-floor pub and a private upstairs bar with its own street entrance, create multiple revenue centers under one roof. The upstairs is ideal for private celebrations, sports watch parties, live entertainment, fundraisers and corporate events. Owners invested heavily refreshing the concept, menu and branding while preserving its classic charm: exposed brick, warm wood finishes, abundant TVs and multiple dining areas. Six recently added video gaming terminals create a new high-margin revenue stream requiring virtually no additional labor.

This asset sale includes extensive FF&E: draft beer systems, keg cooler, walk-in cooler and freezer, hood, 6-burner range w/oven, grill, flat top, fryers and POS. With no franchise, royalty or transfer fees, a buyer can continue the concept or create a gastropub, sports bar, tavern or taproom. Ideal for expanding restaurateurs, owner-operators or investors seeking substantial replacement value.
