Licensed Sunshine Coast Bar & Restaurant For Sale

Business description

The first thing you notice about Tin Can Bay’s “The Black Cockatoo” Cafe and Bar is the open and modern decor.

The second thing is the stunning view of the Tin Can Inlet just across the road. Massive, bi-fold windows open up most of the front wall when the weather is right, but even when the weather is less than perfect and they need to stay closed, there remains an almost uninterrupted view of the water.

It took the current owners quite a few years to find the perfect location to fulfil their dream of owning and operating a restaurant and while they didn’t intend to become famous for their seafood dishes and Thai curries – that is exactly what happened.

The owner’s secret is their insistence on using only fresh herbs from the herb garden ringing the restaurant’s courtyard, and fresh seafood caught by local fishermen. Tin Can Bay might be coming a playground of the well-off boating set, but it retains it’s strong traditional industry of fishing with a fleet of trawlers that come and go every day.
The seafood (fish, prawns, crabs, scallops, shellfish) is purchased fresh every day – the oysters are bought in live from Coffin Bay in South Australia, regarded by many as the best in Australia.
The menu is influenced by the catch, particularly what fish is available.
The building, with it’s clean off white walls and polished cement floors lend an air of contemporary dining while retaining a relaxed atmosphere. Being completely renovated with new kitchen, containing built in coldroom with internal freezer, all stainless steel benches, pass through dishwasher, fryer, 6 burner gas cooker with grill plate and salamander, commercial microwave oven, insect control unit, air conditioner, fridge, etc. There is a purpose built bar and the outdoor dining area opens from it.
The time is right now for the current owners to move on and allow the next owner/operator to acquire this fantastic fully licensed freehold bar & restaurant and benefit from the reputation of being “the best place to eat” in Tin Can Bay.
The business will suit a husband and wife team with hospitality experience, who dream of owning and running their own restaurant in an idyllic location with real “Lifestyle”. The advantage of buying freehold will mean that not only is there never a landlord or lease to worry about, but you also have the benefit of reaping capital gains.

Freehold Property also for sale for only $500,000
