Business Description
Popular Bar & Grill w/Gaming Western Suburb of Chicago, IL - Exceptional Suburban Downtown Location!

"The Second Busiest Video Gaming Spot In Town With 2025 Gaming Income At $107,287"

Outstanding opportunity to acquire a recently renovated, fully equipped neighborhood bar & grill with video gaming in a thriving western suburban historic downtown approximately one hour west of Chicago.

Offering multiple revenue streams, an experienced management team, attractive lease terms, a loyal customer following and a turnkey operation that allows a new owner to step in and continue to grow with increasing sales!

Its full-service bar offers craft beers and signature cocktails in addition to daily drink and happy hour specials. The menu has also been carefully developed to appeal to a broad customer base with an extensive selection of delicious appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, flatbreads, tacos, fresh salads, comfort food favorites and daily specials.

Occupying 4,400 sqft, this inviting establishment has become a favorite gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The business features a warm, energetic atmosphere with a relaxing bar, fully equipped commercial kitchen, spacious dining areas and various pub games, plus a sought-after video gaming area. Featuring a flexible floor plan capable of supporting everything from casual lunches and family dinners to late-night entertainment, live music, game/trivia nights, private parties and special events.

One of the business's greatest strengths is its diversified revenue model. In addition to a successful beverage and food operation, the business also benefits from 6 video gaming terminals, creating a valuable secondary income stream that requires minimal labor while producing strong cash flow. Currently, the second busiest video gaming spot in town with 2025 gaming income at $107,287. The business is being offered as a stock sale, allowing the gaming license to remain active, subject to Illinois Gaming Board approval and terminal operator requirements.

And the current owners just completed substantial remodeling and equipment upgrades in 2024, creating an attractive, updated interior while maintaining the welcoming neighborhood atmosphere that has earned the business its loyal following. Complete with a wrap around bar, comfortable seating, pool table, dart boards, arcade games and an open video gaming area. Every piece of furniture, fixture and equipment necessary for day-to-day operations is included, making this an exceptionally turnkey opportunity.

Equally attractive is the operation itself. The business is currently managed on a semi-absentee basis with an experienced kitchen manager and bar manager overseeing daily operations. One partner currently devotes only limited weekly hours to the business, presenting a tremendous opportunity for an owner-operator to increase profitability through more active involvement, tighter inventory controls, expanded marketing efforts and additional community engagement.

Prime corner retail space in a freestanding building on one of the city's primary commercial corridors with excellent visibility, convenient public parking and steady pedestrian traffic.

Strategically positioned in the heart of the historic downtown of a growing western suburb of Chicago. Benefits from nearby locally owned restaurants, bars, shops and professional offices as well as year-round community events and strong local demographics.

Has become an area destination for both local residents and visitors seeking dining, entertainment and nightlife in an authentic downtown setting!

- Historic downtown suburban location
- Excellent walkability
- Main corridor visibility
- Near local shopping and businesses
