This is a long-established, full-service sports bar and grill that has operated continuously under the same family’s ownership for more than two decades. The business has built a loyal, neighborhood-driven customer base and strong local brand recognition as a go-to destination for watching sports, family and business gatherings, etc. This establishment has signature menu items, regional bar-food specialties, and recurring weekday specials. The concept has also hosted guest-chef pop-up collaborations, reinforcing its standing as a community gathering spot beyond a typical tavern.
Revenue is diversified across three complementary streams: food sales, beverage sales (liquor, wine, and beer), and state-licensed video lottery gaming. The beverage sales outweigh the food sales generating higher gross margins than most establishments. On a trailing 12-month basis, the business has produced annual revenue in the $2 million + range with strong seller’s discretionary earnings.
The opportunity is being brought to market as a real-estate-inclusive going concern, encompassing the business’s FF&E, goodwill, liquor and video lottery licensing, and the freestanding building it occupies in an established, high-visibility commercial corridor within a growing Midwest metro market. The combination of durable cash flow, a diversified revenue mix, and owned real estate positions this well for either an owner-operator or a multi-unit hospitality group, and supports availability for acquisition financing.
