What You’re Buying
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to take over a fully built, fully licensed Japanese izakaya and craft cocktail bar in one of Brooklyn’s busiest dining corridors — at a fraction of what it would cost to build the same thing today.
The owners purpose-built the space in 2017, with a build-out they value at approximately $1.2 million. Starting from scratch, a buyer would face an estimated 12 to 18 months of construction, permitting, and licensing before serving a single guest — and would still have to win a liquor license. Here it is all in place: a transferable full liquor license, roughly 3,000 square feet across three designed floors, a dedicated private event room, an outdoor terrace, an in-house bakery, and a complete commercial kitchen and bar.
The business generated approximately $678,000 in gross revenue in 2025, roughly 69% food and 31% beverage, and holds a 4.5-star rating across more than 190 reviews. It currently runs fully staff-run, which means labor is the clear lever: a hands-on owner-operator, or an established restaurant group folding this into an existing back office, has an obvious and immediate path to improve the bottom line.
It also works as a stage-ready shell. A buyer with their own concept gets a licensed, built-out, three-floor Brooklyn venue and can reconcept inside it — keeping the license, the terrace, and the kitchen while changing everything else.
What’s included
The sale includes the complete build-out and leasehold improvements across all three floors, the commercial kitchen and full bar, the bakery equipment, the private event room and terrace build-out, and the transferable full liquor license. Lease terms, the detailed equipment schedule, employee structure, and transition support are provided under NDA. Seller will provide transition support and training; terms are negotiable.
Business Profile
A strong fit for an experienced operator or a chef ready to own, and equally for an established restaurant group looking for a licensed, built-out Brooklyn location without the capital risk and time cost of new construction. Serious inquiries only; financials, lease, and full facilities list are available under NDA.
