The expanding owners have outgrown this location, creating an excellent opportunity to acquire a turn-key restaurant, bar, nightclub, office space, retail location, or many other business uses on one of Watertown’s most traveled corridors, bustling Arsenal Street. With over 20,000 vehicles passing by daily, this high-visibility property benefits from strong traffic exposure and an established customer base, making it ideal for both new and experienced operators. Conveniently located near hotels, major shopping, Interstate 81, and historic downtown Watertown.
The space features a stunning bar and casual dining layout within a beautiful limestone building. The property was completely gutted in 2018, followed by additional upgrades in 2020. Improvements include custom flooring, updated wiring, upgraded electrical panel, new forced air furnace, central air conditioning, and new exterior sign panels. The fully equipped kitchen includes an ANSUL fire suppression system and is ready for immediate operation.
Additional features include parking for 45+ vehicles, a fenced rear lot, and a partially enclosed patio ideal for additional dining or expanded business use. The property also offers a partial basement and second-floor space with bathroom, storage, office area, and bonus space suitable for additional business use or expansion opportunities.
