Trading & Business
The business has been operated by the present owners from August 2020 until October 2023 as a wet led cocktail bar. The owners are based in Brighton and it is proving increasingly difficult for them to operate the business under management from this location, hence it closed in October. These premises offer huge potential for a go ahead independent bar operator, particularly when combined with a food offer. The Premises licence allows for the supply of alcohol from 8.00am to 3.30am Thursday to Saturday inclusive.

Licences/Permissions
We are informed that the property holds a Premises Licence granted by Bournemouth Borough Council. The Licensing Act 2003 states that properties serving alcohol have a designated premises supervisor who must hold a Personal Licence. We suggest that all purchasers take appropriate professional advice. We have not had sight of this licensing documentation.

Tenure
LEASEHOLD. The owners inform us that there are approximately 8 years remaining on the original 10 year lease, at a current rent of £12,000 per annum exclusive, with 5 yearly rent reviews. We have not had sight of this lease documentation.
