Business Overview:
Turnkey 15-BBL production brewery, restaurant and live music venue - ready to reopen in historic Downtown Kenosha! Everything needed to brew, serve and entertain is in place: a 15-BBL brewhouse with full cellar, complete commercial kitchen, large circular bar, approx. 200 seats plus sidewalk patio, canning/bottling line and a built-out music and events space.
Housed in the landmark 1910 Barden Building, fully renovated in 2019-2020 with new plumbing, electrical and HVAC. The brand dates to 2012 and distributed beer across Wisconsin; Lakefront Brewery acquired it in 2024 and closed the location in spring 2026.
Asset sale - all FF&E (valued at approx. $200,000) is included in the $150,000 asking price, far below replacement cost. Leased space $9,515/mo gross; lease runs through 12/31/2027 with one 5-year option to 12/31/2032. The building is also available for purchase separately. No financials provided; seller reports unverified monthly sales of $40,000-$70,000 when open.
Confidential - please do not contact the ownership group, landlord or former employees. Showings by appointment only. Contact Tim Ryan.

Market Competition and Expansion:
<p>Wisconsin has one of the country's strongest craft beer cultures, and Kenosha sits on the I-94 corridor between Milwaukee and Chicago, drawing locals and regional visitors. The downtown brewery and beer-garden scene has proven the market supports craft destinations.</p><p>This location stands apart on scale and flexibility: production brewing, packaging and wholesale distribution, full-service dining, private events and live music under one roof. The prior operation distributed statewide, so the capacity is proven.</p><p>Expansion: the building's second floor (not in the lease) can be added as event or office space through building ownership, and the real estate itself can be purchased.
