Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This existing restaurant space is located on a prominent Bucktown corner and has been occupied by the Lillie’s Q concept for the past decade. The offering includes an assignment of the existing lease, all FF&E, and a transfer of the entity that holds the licenses. The business holds an incidental liquor license, retail food, and a sidewalk cafe permit.

The facility was rehabbed in 2017 and features a significantly lower level build out designed to support operations, including food prep, storage, coolers, and office space.

While currently operating under the existing lease and licensed setup, the premises have been maintained and are presented as adaptable for other bar and restaurant concepts, with the licensed entity transfer included as part of the offering.
