Summary
This premium nightlife venue was originally envisioned and set up as a high-end nightclub. Launched during the COVID pandemic, the business adapted to regulations at the time and has since operated successfully as special occasions venue with food and dancing. The venue now presents an exciting opportunity to return to its original vision - a vibrant late-night hotspot for a younger, energetic crowd.

All business licenses are current and in good standing.
The venue is stylish, fully equipped, and ready to transition into a thriving nightlife hotspot.
