Historic Bar for Takeover – A Prime Opportunity

Enfield Town Centre hosts a unique opportunity to own and operate a historic bar with over 100 years of legacy. Situated in a prime corner location in North London, this bar offers untapped potential for revitalization under new management. With a current operation of four evenings a week, the venue is poised for growth and requires a visionary owner to rejuvenate its presence in the local scene.

Key Features & Facilities

This fully operational venue comes complete with a till system, fridges, draft lines, and stock. It features a small outdoor garden space and holds a late license valid until 1:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Notably, while it maintains third-party exclusivity for draft and bottled beers, it offers freedom in sourcing spirits and soft drinks. The business can be operated under a license agreement or partnership, ensuring a streamlined transition without subletting complications.

Added Benefits

The property also includes 10 letting rooms operated as an established guesthouse by the current owner. Utility costs are shared between the bar and the guesthouse, ensuring fair expense distribution and increasing the venture’s commercial appeal.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal new owner should possess hands-on hospitality or bar experience, sufficient working capital, and positive references. A passion for community engagement, events, and marketing is essential to rebuild and expand the bar’s reputation within the local community. Enthusiasm for taking on a long-standing business with significant potential for growth is crucial.

Advantages of the Location

Situated at the end of the High Street, the bar benefits from nearby amenities such as shops, restaurants, and public services, which attract customers. While the area has other bars and pubs, the stylish interior design, modern chic ambiance, and attractive outdoor façade offer a competitive edge. Despite being under recent ownership for 23 years, the bar offers extensive history and promise for a revitalized future.

Additional Information

The fully fitted establishment is adjacent to multiple retailers, increasing foot traffic and visibility. While there has been no recent turnover increase, the bar's potential is substantial. Training opportunities for new owners are available, ensuring a smooth transition. Currently, the business is supported by two part-time employees, and while it lacks an online presence, this is an area ready for development.
