Description
Buy a Bar & Liquor Store in Key West! Dons' Place is the opportunity to purchase an Iconic and Landmark Indoor and Outdoor Bar & a Liquor Store with a Drive Through! This package is rarely available in Key West or anywhere in the Keys. Big bonus is that is includes a very valuable, full, unrestricted & transferrable 5-COP Liquor License that includes Tobacco & Retail Beverage with no food requirement! BEV 5400161.
Monroe County Liquor Licenses are valued well over $1 Million and 2024 County Just Market Values of the two real estate parcels is over $2.8 Million. Total Asset value alone is over $3.8 Million, not including business value.
Two parcels of land total 11,836 sf. at corner of Truman & Grinnell Streets.
The Indoor Bar and adjoining Liquor Store are in the main corner, CBS 2,396 sf. building along with men's and women's restrooms, office & storage. The building also operates maybe the only drive through, pick up window for Beer, Wine and Liquor left in the Keys!
Several major repairs include new AC unit, new Bar, all new water lines and plumbing upgrades. New roof in 2022. There is an existing backup propane Generac Generator with automatic transfer not working. All Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment included.
Outside is another 1,588 sf. covered outdoor Bar for entertaining, weddings, special events and parties. There is bar and table seating and a separate small office/storage building.
The Bar and Liquor store are popular with both tourists and locals. The business is family managed with absentee owners and a few long time employees. Current Bar hours are 7am until 4am, 7 days per week. The Bar and Liquor Store are a money making operation with so many opportunities for growth for a new owner. Currently there is no food service on site, only pre-packaged snacks sold, but HNC -1 Zoning allows many commercial and residential uses & likely Food Trucks for added income.
Same absentee owners since 1998 and first time listed for sale.
