Turnkey Tap House & Restaurant - Downtown Maple Park, IL!

“Freestanding Building - Full Bar With Rotating Draft Beer System - Fully Equipped Kitchen - Screened-In Patio”

Exceptional opportunity to acquire or lease an established tap house and restaurant! Three options: buy the property for $350,000 with all FF&E included, buy the business assets for $65,000 (draft system, FF&E, build-out, trade name and goodwill) plus a new lease, or lease it fully equipped.

Opened in 2017, this independent gastropub has built a loyal following for its Illinois-focused rotating craft beer lineup, historically 100+ bottled and canned beers, plus award-winning smash burgers, beer-battered cheese curds, Bavarian pretzels and specialty sandwiches. Its signature burger was named WGN-TV Chicago’s Best Burger. 4.5-star Google rating with 760+ reviews, plus strong Restaurantji, TripAdvisor and BeerAdvocate reviews.

Interior features a long wood bar, rustic finishes and warm lighting. Keep the current concept, recipes, website and loyalty program, or bring your own brand: neighborhood bar & grill, sports bar, gastropub, craft beer or wine bar. An affordable entry into restaurant property ownership: stop paying rent, build equity, or lease to an operator for income.
