Littlefoot, located on Barkly Street in the heart of Footscray, was established in 2015 by its current owners with one simple goal: to create a vibrant, welcoming venue for the local community. They wanted somewhere they could enjoy great food, drinks, and music without having to travel far-and the response from the community was so strong that they later purchased the building to secure the venue's future.
At the street frontage, guests are welcomed with footpath trading for up to eight patrons. Stepping inside, the venue opens to a lively main bar area, with assorted seating options and a DJ booth positioned by the entrance. A long bar stretches down the right-hand side of the space, guiding visitors toward a lounge area fitted with booth seating along one wall. Behind the scenes, a fully equipped commercial kitchen caters to the venue's menu, with the first set of restrooms located nearby.
From the lounge, a covered corridor runs past the cool room, office, and a second set of restrooms, before leading into a brightly decorated courtyard-a favourite with regulars. Beyond the courtyard, a gate opens into an additional outdoor section in the main carpark, which can accommodate over 40 patrons and is always bustling on sunny days.
Littlefoot holds a Late Night On-Premises liquor licence until 3am and is licensed for up to 200 patrons-a rarity in the area and a major drawcard for its central location. Internal billing reflects a sustainable weekly rent of $1,419 including GST, meaning any future freehold owner could lease the business at this rate and enjoy a solid return. All fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, with no equipment leases or supplier contracts in place, giving the new owner complete flexibility.
This freehold going concern is offered as a combined package of both building and business. The venue has consistently strong performance, capable of supporting a mortgage as well as delivering healthy rental returns. Solid financial records are available along with the Section 32. With its established reputation, loyal customer base, and a capable team ready to stay on, the transition for new ownership will be seamless. There remains untapped potential to grow revenue streams and further improve profitability through tighter operational controls.
The vendors are seeking offers in the region of $1.6M for this exclusively listed freehold and going concern or $220,000 just for this business - exceptional opportunities in one of Melbourne's most dynamic inner-west locations.
