Based on property information with market context.

Located at 1181 Elm Street in Manchester, this leasing opportunity is housed within the historic Chandler Building. The space is offered at up to 7,200 square feet, with a subdivided option of approximately 3,500 square feet. The property includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen with a 20-foot hood, two bars, a stage, a patio, and a special event room. Interior character elements include brick walls and granite arches.

The venue was previously approved for seating across multiple areas, including 200 in the main restaurant, 45 in the lounge, 45 in the atrium, and 63 on the patio. The property is also positioned to serve changing downtown demand, with public parking for more than 450 vehicles planned soon, along with current street parking.

This configuration supports a range of hospitality and entertainment concepts that fit a bar-and-kitchen environment and can accommodate both seated service and events, including sports bar, jazz or comedy club, and food-focused concepts such as gourmet pizza/pasta. Zoning is business, and the ability to lease the full site or a smaller subdivided option can be useful for operators planning a smaller footprint while retaining the same core amenities.
