The free-of-tie craft beer, real ale and wine bar is housed within the converted Conservative Club building and is a welcoming free house. The bar is a well-supported community establishment and hosts regular events, live music nights and food pop-ups, having established a loyal customer base.
On the ground floor, the main bar area seats 55 patrons along with an outside trading area. On the first floor there is a restaurant serving 50 covers with a fully fitted commercial kitchen, and there is scope for further development of this offering under new ownership to maximise food sales.
The property is on the market due to the owners wishing to retire. They commented: “Since purchasing the property in 2018, and opening the ground floor bar in November 2019, we have put our heart and soul into the Taps & Wine Bar during some difficult times for the hospitality industry. When we started the bar, we were novices in the hospitality industry, with an idea and a desire to save a much-needed facility in our community. We have managed to create a facility that is seen by many as the heart of the community, with our customers being our best asset.
“We have refurbished the building to a high standard, but we realise there is a limit to what we can achieve especially at this stage in our life. Therefore, we feel the bar could be an extremely profitable business in the right hands and we look forward to seeing it be developed further by new owners.”
James Dodd, Business Agent at Christie & Co who is managing the sale, said: “We are pleased to bring this popular bar/restaurant to the market, which offers plenty of opportunities for a new buyer. We hope to find the right buyer for this business to help the owners move on after building Taps & Wine Bar to the successful community establishment it is today.”
The sought-after village of Walton-le-Dale is located 2.5 miles from the city of Preston, and the bar sits within close proximity to shopping, dining, and entertainment facilities at Capitol Centre Retail Park, as well as local schools, healthcare facilities and parks.
Taps & Wine Bar is on the market with a freehold asking price of £350,000.
