An exciting opportunity to acquire a high end, well-established speakeasy-style cocktail lounge with a strong brand, loyal customer base, and clear potential for growth.
Operating independently for over 5 years, the venue is renowned for its expertly crafted cocktails, stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, and exceptional service.
Located in the affluent and vibrant neighbourhood of Muswell Hill, the bar consistently attracts a diverse clientele of professionals, locals, and cocktail enthusiasts. The lounge accommodates up to 70 guests and is well-suited for casual evenings, private events, and exclusive functions.
Additional income streams include themed events such as Afternoon Tipsy Teas, mixology classes, and mobile bar hire for private and corporate functions.
The business boasts one of the most extensive spirit collections in the area, a refined signature cocktail menu, and glowing customer reviews on both Google and TripAdvisor. Industry recognition includes being shortlisted for the 2025 Appleton Rum Best Cocktail Award.
The sale includes all inventory, furniture, and bar equipment, and the current owners are prepared to support a smooth transition for up to three months post-sale. With no supplier contracts in place, a new owner enjoys full operational flexibility.
This is a rare chance to take on a stylish, and popular venue with excellent foundations and strong growth potential in an underserved market.
The interior combines classic vintage charm with modern sophistication, featuring Tom Dixon lighting, House of Hackney wallpaper, and a carefully curated selection of retro furniture.
Venue boasts a stylish bar area, a variety of seating options, including a large Chesterfield sofa area, and a flower-ceilinged outdoor decked space, perfect for al fresco dining.
With a capacity of 70 guests, the venue's flexible layout can be easily reconfigured for larger groups and private events. The sale includes all inventory, including furniture, bar equipment, and stock.
The business is run by the two owners, who are supported by a bar supervisor, and three mixologists. The owners are seeking to sell due to personal commitments, providing an excellent opportunity for new owners to expand the business and unlock its full growth potential.
There are significant growth opportunities for this business, particularly through expanding its social media presence (currently lacking on TikTok) and boosting advertising efforts via Facebook and Instagram.
The business can increase its customer base by extending its operating hours to include daytime service, and by further expanding its service offerings, such as hosting more events and private hire.
With its prime location in an affluent area and a unique cocktail experience, this business has strong potential to scale regionally and internationally, potentially becoming a chain of cocktail bars.
Increased marketing, enhanced online presence, and hiring additional staff could further drive growth, making this an ideal opportunity for expansion.
