Cocktail Bar
About this opportunity
A rare chance to secure a fully fitted cocktail bar in one of the city’s busiest and most sought after nightlife precincts. Surrounded by high energy venues and nonstop foot traffic, this site is perfectly positioned for strong, immediate trade.
The venue features a versatile multi-space layout, ideal for intimate gatherings, group celebrations, private events, or themed nights. Already licensed to midnight, the site provides a clear pathway to extended trading hours, unlocking even greater revenue potential in a precinct that thrives well into the early morning.
With solid infrastructure and “good bones,” the bar is perfectly suited for an operator wanting to put their own stamp on the concept. Introduce a light food menu, elevate the cocktail offering, or reposition the brand to capture a broader audience — the flexibility is there to create something truly standout.
Business Story
The bar is already fully fitted out and ready to trade, offering a seamless transition for a new owner who wants to hit the ground running. Every essential element is in place — from the bar infrastructure and seating zones to the lighting, sound, and ambience that give the venue its character. For operators who prefer to customise, the space also provides excellent “good bones” to reimagine the concept, refresh the branding, or introduce a new theme. This flexibility makes it ideal for those who want to bring their own creative vision to life without the cost and complexity of a full build out.
The surrounding precinct continues to grow, with new developments, increased residential density, and a steady influx of visitors contributing to a thriving local economy. This cocktail bar is perfectly positioned to capitalise on that momentum. Its proximity to other nightlife venues creates a natural flow of patrons, while its unique layout and potential for customisation allow it to stand out from the competition. With the right branding and operational approach, the venue can quickly become a favourite among locals and visitors alike.
From a marketing perspective, the venue offers endless possibilities. Social media friendly aesthetics, themed nights, influencer partnerships, and targeted promotions can all be leveraged to build a strong following. The multi-space design also allows for diverse content creation, giving the venue a dynamic presence online. In today’s hospitality landscape, visibility and personality are everything — and this bar has the framework to shine.
Operationally, the venue is manageable and efficient, making it suitable for both hands on owner operators and those who prefer to oversee from a strategic level. The existing fit out reduces initial setup time, allowing the new owner to focus on building a brand, refining the offering, and engaging with the local community. With the right team and systems in place, the bar can operate smoothly and profitably from day one.
In summary, this cocktail bar represents a rare blend of affordability, flexibility, and high potential location. It is ready to trade immediately yet offers ample scope for reinvention. Its multi-spaced layout, extendable licence, and opportunity to introduce food make it adaptable to a wide demographic. Upsell potential is strong, and the surrounding nightlife precinct ensures a steady flow of customers. At an entry price of just $95,000, this is an exceptional opportunity for an operator who wants to step into a thriving market with minimal risk and maximum upside.
For the right buyer, this isn’t just a bar — it’s a platform to build a brand, create a destination, and shape a standout hospitality experience in one of the city’s most energetic precincts.
