Fully-Equipped Freestanding Restaurant & Bar Merrillville, IN - Just off The Hwy 30 & I-65 Interchange! "Turnkey - Premium Buildout - Extensive FF&E - Existing Liquor License" Outstanding opportunity to acquire a beautifully built-out, second-generation restaurant in one of Northwest Indiana's strongest retail and dining corridors. This is strictly an asset sale - the existing business, brand, recipes and concept are not included, creating a blank canvas for an experienced operator to introduce virtually any restaurant, bar, brewery, steakhouse, seafood concept, upscale casual dining establishment or other hospitality venture. Spanning 6,826 sqft, this impressive restaurant has been thoughtfully designed with quality craftsmanship, attractive finishes and a highly functional layout that would cost significantly more to replicate today. The spacious dining room currently accommodates approximately 150 guests indoors, complemented by an inviting 30-seat outdoor patio that expands revenue opportunities during warmer months while enhancing the overall guest experience.
