Overview

This nearly century-old tavern is offered turnkey and ready to operate, with meticulous upkeep and an extensive included inventory. The sale includes a fully equipped bar, all furniture, kitchen equipment, freezers, pool table, dart machines, and serving items such as dishes, glasses, and silverware. A professionally waterproofed basement is included with a transferable warranty. Major mechanicals are recently updated, including a one-year-old flat roof, and one-year-old furnace and A/C. The property also includes a 4-way liquor license as part of the sale.

Located at 2209 Kemble Avenue in South Bend, Indiana 46613 (St. Joseph County), the offering combines the tavern operation with on-site residential space. Included is a spacious 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment, along with a heated garage. This layout supports owner occupancy while keeping the operational space separate and functional.

For buyers seeking an operator-ready hospitality purchase, the included liquor license and complete inventory reduce the need for immediate buildout or replacement. The attached apartment with a heated garage adds flexibility for an owner-operator, or for a secondary income stream through rental use, depending on the buyer’s plans and approvals.
