About this business
A drinks-led bar in a Sunderland suburb, trading mostly on beer, cider and spirits, with live sport, quiz nights and weekend music to bring people in. It opened in 2022 on a lease and employs 11 full and part-time staff. Turnover has eased slightly from £572k to £550k, but EBITDA has risen every year from £51k to £65k, a margin of about 12%. With little food, the operation is simple to run. A buyer takes on the lease, the fixtures and a team that knows the regulars.
