Description
This is the kind of listing that doesn't come around often. A fully operational board game lounge and bar, up and running, with a transferable liquor license. If you've ever looked into getting a liquor license on your own, you know what that's worth. The owner needs to sell and wants to move fast. This isn't a business in trouble, life just had other plans. That means there's a real opportunity here for a buyer who's ready to act. The price reflects the urgency. Everything comes with it. The bar is fully stocked and equipped. The game library has hundreds of titles built up over years. Furniture, fixtures, POS system, reservation setup...it's all there. You could realistically open the doors the day after closing and not miss a beat. The owner will stick around through the transition to make sure you're set up right. The model works because people come to play and then they stay. You pay a table fee, you play games, you drink. It's a simple concept that keeps guests in their seats longer than almost any other bar format, which means more orders and stronger per-table numbers. The regulars are already there: the social media following, the email list, the people who come back every week. Getting a liquor license from scratch takes time, money, and there's no guarantee you'll get one. Buying this business is one of the few ways to skip that process entirely. Add in a curated game collection worth tens of thousands and a customer base that's already loyal, and the value here goes well beyond what the asking price reflects. (Liquor License Value = $20,000+) Financials and lease details are available under NDA.

Today's consumers increasingly prefer spending money on experiences & social activities over material goods. We offer an affordable, screen-free social outlet standing apart from traditional bars, restaurants, or movie theaters. Our competitors do not offer as welcoming or inviting of a space.
