Established Bar & Functions | Only 2 Days | Proven Profits

Established in 2010, the business has been successfully operating from its current premises for approximately 16 years, building a strong reputation as a destination bar and private function venue within one of Melbourne's premier entertainment precincts. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly profitable and well-established licensed hospitality business generating approximately $695,000 in annual turnover (including GST) while operating only two days per week. The business has developed a loyal customer base and an outstanding reputation for both general bar trade and private functions, supported by quality plant and equipment, established operating systems and a professionally presented venue. The current operating model has been intentionally structured around limited trading days, creating significant untapped potential for an incoming owner. Expanding trading days, extending operating hours or further developing the already successful functions and events business presents clear opportunities to increase both revenue and profitability. Occupying approximately 371 sqm, the venue features a quality fit-out, fully equipped bar facilities and versatile function spaces, making it suitable for a variety of hospitality concepts. With proven financial performance, strong gross margins and established operational systems, the business offers a genuine turnkey opportunity with a smooth transition to new ownership. Opportunities of this nature are rarely offered to the market. Combining immediate cash flow, proven profitability and substantial growth potential, this business will appeal to experienced hospitality operators, owner-operators, venue groups and investors seeking an established licensed venue with significant upside. **Please note that for confidentiality the image in this advert is generic and is not of the actual business** Lease Details 5 Year lease (Til 2031) and seeking a further option of 5 years for suitable operator(s) Premises Details The business operates from a substantial approximately 371 sqm licensed hospitality venue positioned within one of Melbourne's most recognised entertainment precincts.

Operating just two days per week, the business already generates approximately $695,000 in annual turnover (including GST) and delivers strong profitability. This provides an incoming owner with an exceptional platform to unlock significant additional revenue without the need for substantial capital investment. There is clear potential to: Expand trading to additional weekdays and weekends. Increase utilisation of the venue outside its current operating schedule. Further develop the already successful private functions and events business. Introduce live entertainment, themed events or ticketed experiences. Increase food and beverage sales through extended trading hours. Leverage the venue's established reputation and loyal customer base to drive repeat patronage. Few hospitality businesses offer proven earnings while leaving so much untapped trading capacity. The current business has demonstrated what can be achieved on just two trading days, providing an incoming owner with multiple avenues to accelerate revenue and profitability.
