This Leasehold Mediterranean tapas and cocktail bar occupies a prominent High Street spot in affluent Harborne, with a strong local reputation and a loyal regular customer base. The business has been recently refurbished and includes paid-for fixtures, fittings and a fully equipped kitchen, allowing a new owner to trade immediately without significant capital outlay.
Trading Tuesday–Saturday with average weekly takings of £5,000–£6,000, the venue offers scope to increase revenue by extending opening hours (for example adding Sunday lunch) and by local marketing. The compact dining room (covers 34) and street-facing frontage suit an owner-operator or small management team focused on quality food and drinks.
Important practical considerations: the lease has only 2 years remaining and rent is £22,140 pa; mortgage lenders will likely refuse lending on this lease term. The area records higher crime levels, which may affect insurance and staffing; ongoing costs include business rates c.£5,000 pa and a rent deposit equivalent to six months.
This is a turn-key, small-footprint restaurant in a busy retail parade — attractive to a hands-on buyer or investor prepared to negotiate a new lease or purchase the freehold elsewhere. Early viewing is recommended for those who can act quickly on lease and security matters.
