SOLD - Tipsy Cow Micro Bar, Barnsley

HUGELY POPULAR AND HIGHLY REGARDED MICRO BAR in Barnsley.

Located on the more attractive fringe of Barnsley town centre and surrounded by modern apartments, a hotel, and situated within close proximity to the civic centre, a college and a theatre.  The bar is chic and ultra-modern looking, with all glass frontage to two floors and having been totally refurbished in April 2018. An easy-to-run, entirely wet-led operation which is hugely popular with a wide demographic. The bar benefits from a large amount of dedicated, external,  pavement seating (approx. 40 person), beneath a purpose built, glass covered pergola. Following a listing in 2021, the bar has featured again as one of “Barnsley’s Hot Spots” in the 2023 50th Edition of the Good Beer Guide, published by CAMRA. The business is run on a fairly low-key basis to suit the owners and there is huge potential to extend the opening times and take fuller advantage of the permitted licensed hours. The bar is easily operated by a very small team and the business would be perfect for a couple of partners, supported by casual staff during the busier times. The premises has low overheads, benefitting from small business rates relief and very fair and reasonable rent. Internally, the premises has made very clever use of the space, with an industrial quality open-plan mezzanine over the ground floor bar, accommodating 25+ customers, plus a gents WC.  The ground floor bar area has seating for at least 12 customers. A chilled cellar room behind the bar serves the six keg taps and four cask ale pumps. There is a ladies WC on the ground floor, disabilities compliant. Business on lease. Ref: 588636

SOLD - Chophaus Bar & Restaurant, Roundhay, Leeds

RESTAURANT AND BAR in Roundhay, Leeds 

Purpose built, highly prominent, ultra-modern building, standing in its own grounds with excellent public parking. Situated at the head of this highly affluent and desirable north Leeds suburb, with a bustling restaurant and bar circuit and leisure and entertainment scene.

Over 2,500 square feet (238 square metres) of stunningly well-appointed restaurant space. The premises was furbished and fitted to the highest standard possible, on a no-expense spared budget. Exceptional attention to detail and the installation of state-of-the-art equipment makes this one of the most elite, elegant and ultra-chic restaurant premises in the north of England. Vast internal dining areas capable of accommodating around 150 customers over two floors, and hugely attractive open air terraces with seating. The venue was popularly booked for bespoke private dining and events.

THE OPPORTUNITY:  This restaurant and bar was enjoying average sales in excess of £40,000 per week, prior to the pandemic upheavals and disruptions. Although currently closed due to, admittedly, the owners lack of experience in operating restaurants, as well as effective operational / management issues, there is no reason why an experienced restaurant and / or wet-led bar operator could not take the reins, staff it properly and gear it up to again achieve at least those levels of turnover very quickly. Moving into the spring and summer months, this venue will prove to be one of the busiest in Leeds. Business on lease. Ref: 588821
