This bar generates revenue from liquor sales, entertainment nights, and repeat neighborhood clientele.
2025 sales were temporarily impacted due to a family situation that required the owner to be out of the country for several months. Reduced hands-on management and limited promotional activity affected performance during that period.
A dedicated owner-operator can increase cash flow by:
Expanding live entertainment and themed event nights
Re-engaging social media and local marketing
Optimizing drink specials and pricing strategy
Growing private party bookings
Increasing higher-margin food offerings
The infrastructure, liquor license, and customer base are already in place. With consistent on-site ownership, this business has strong potential for improved revenue and owner benefit.
Ideal for an experienced bar operator or first-time owner looking to acquire a full liquor establishment in Sacramento County at an attractive entry price.
The asking price reflects asset value and upside, not peak historical earnings.
Buyer is acquiring:
A hard-to-replace Type 48 license
Approved patio seating (increasingly scarce)
A fully built-out bar with entertainment infrastructure
Established goodwill (Since 1982) without paying for unrealized growth
Comparable license and build-out value alone support the price, while leaving room for the buyer to improve cash flow and equity through execution.
