When the Ice Bar defrosted and moved to Fed Square out came The Bar. One of the cosiest, chilled out places you will find on Brunswick Street. What do you do when your Grandmother clears out all her stuff and moves in to a nursing home. Of course put her furniture in a bar and hang her clothes from the ceiling. Yes its true!!
At the front of the venue there is footpath trading for six. However, most people wanting to be outside tend to use the courtyard at the back of venue. Heading inside there are two sections. The front looking out on to the street and the main room perfectly sound proofed from the old freezer wall. Throughout, the place is filled with sofas and set up for small groups to relax and chat. The bar is in a recess at the back of the main room so there is no room for bar flies but plenty of space behind the bar to provide everything that is needed. Above the bar is a pull down step ladder that leads in to a secret room above with all the stock and sound equipment. Leading from the courtyard is the toilet which has been decorated by all the regulars in the Fitzroy style.
The Bar has an On Premises licence until 1am with a capacity of 69. There are five years left on the lease with the landlord willing to negotiate extra terms on transfer. Rent is $994 a week including GST. All fixtures and fittings are included in the sale and there are no supplier or equipment contracts.
The Bar is the perfect first bar for an owner operator looking to start out in the industry. A great reputation and set up in the centre of things on Brunswick Street gives you a fantastic head start. You can keep the bar as it is with Grandma's things or change the place to however you wish. The vendor wishes to move on to concentrate on another business outside of the industry and also the Ice Bar in the CBD. There is financial information in the listing pack and the vendor is looking for offers in the region of $95,000 (Price Reduction) for this exclusively listed venue.
