Additional Details
Facilities
This 5,356 square foot venue with a 275 square foot patio is available for sale, however the landlord will also consider a long-term lease with a suitable tenant at $15,500 per month including triple net expenses ($10,712 base rent).

Competition
The location enjoys separation from the city’s main dining and entertainment areas, which is welcome as it creates a less competitive environment that can uniquely cater to those workers, visitors and residents in its immediate vicinity – while remaining in convenient walking distant for all others.
Growth & Expansion
New operators may take this versatile location in any number of directions, depending on their concept. In the past it has thrived as a fine dining whisky bar, as well as an upper scale Mexican restaurant. Given its two entrances, each level may be separated and the upstairs can cater to a VIP crowd with elevator access. While the existing buildout can work as a premium steak and seafood house, it may also be easily converted to a speakeasy with food, or a more casual style Cabo Cantina type of concept that is centered around its lively atmosphere, budget friendly fare and plentiful drink promotions.
