An exciting opportunity to take over a fully licensed café and bar in one of Brisbane's most vibrant hospitality precincts.
Tucked away in a growing residential pocket of West End, Brisbane, this cozy and welcoming venue has built a loyal local following. Just 2km from the CBD and 500m from the river, it's surrounded by high-density apartments and a supportive community that values independent venues.
While not on the main strip, the business thrives as a destination spot thanks to strong word-of-mouth, repeat customers, and an engaged online audience.
It's perfect for an experienced operator with a flair for marketing and community-focused hospitality.
Key Features:
* Charming Local Setting Positioned in a relaxed neighbourhood hub, away from the hustle, yet close to foot traffic and public transport.
* Inviting Fit-Out Stylish "lounge room" vibe with lush greenery, mirrors, and curated artwork. Seats 50 indoors and 1015 outdoors.
* Fully Licensed & Equipped Includes liquor license, a full kitchen, and bar. All equipment is owned, except for a leased coffee machine (transferable at no cost).
* Multiple Revenue Streams Income from dine-in, takeaway, bar sales, and Uber Eats. Average spend $40$60. Popular items include gourmet pizzas, cocktails, and breakfast staples like chilli scramble.
* Strong Growth Potential Expand weekday breakfast (currently FriSun), increase marketing, host functions and events, or partner with nearby businesses to attract more patrons.
* Attractive Lease Current lease runs until November 2025 with one 3-year renewal option available.
* Community Support Loved by locals with strong potential to grow through events, workshops, and online engagement.
This is a turnkey business being sold on asset value, not financials. For under the cost of a basic fit-out (which can easily exceed $99K), you gain a functioning, licensed venue with branding, equipment, and weekly sales of $7K$8K.
Important Note: This opportunity is best suited to an experienced owner-operator who understands how to assess profitability from top-line revenue and sees the untapped potential. It won't suit buyers only focused on profit-and-loss reports or who need finance.
With strong foundations, unique character, and a liquor license in place, this venue would especially suit someone excited to host events like trivia, bingo, or live music.
If that's your vibe this is your opportunity.
