An exceptional opportunity to secure a fully fitted hospitality venue in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, offered on a chattels-only basis with vacant possession and priced to sell quickly at $48,000.
Previously trading as a restaurant, this venue is arguably far better suited to a strong day trade café concept, servicing the surrounding office towers, legal precinct, corporate workforce and steady weekday foot traffic. With a late-night liquor licence approved for 146 patrons until 3:00am, the site also offers the flexibility to trade into the evening or activate a combined day-and-night hospitality model.
At this price, you simply could not replace the existing fit-out, infrastructure and licence approvals. The venue has now ceased trading and is ready for an experienced operator to step in, rebrand and relaunch without delay.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Positioned within one of Melbourne CBD’s most active commercial precincts, the venue benefits from dual street access via Bourke Street and Little Bourke Street, providing strong visibility and convenience for both daytime and evening trade.
Key highlights include:
Prime CBD location in a high-density legal and commercial precinct
Approximately 50–60 seats
Unbeatable outdoor area with a closing roof, outdoor heating and wind barriers, allowing comfortable trade all year round
146-patron capacity (standing)
Approved trading until 3:00am
Restaurant & Café Liquor Licence in place
Fully fitted commercial kitchen, bar and service infrastructure
Vacant possession with no brand obligations
Ideal café, espresso bar, lunch venue or late-night hospitality concept
Offered well below original setup cost
Priced to sell quickly at $48,000
Perfectly Suited to Day Trade Café Use
Given its central CBD position and the concentration of nearby office towers, this venue is ideally placed for breakfast, coffee and lunch trade. The surrounding daytime workforce provides a strong built-in customer base, making the site particularly appealing for a café operator, corporate lunch concept, espresso bar or quick-service hospitality business.
The venue also offers approximately 50–60 seats, including an exceptional outdoor trading area featuring a closing roof, outdoor heating and wind barriers. This provides a rare advantage in the CBD, allowing operators to maximise comfort, capacity and atmosphere across all seasons.
For operators seeking additional upside, the existing liquor licence and 3:00am approval provide valuable flexibility for after-work drinks, casual dining, private functions or late-night trade.
Potential Uses
The flexible layout and existing infrastructure lend themselves to a range of hospitality formats, including:
Café / espresso bar
Breakfast and lunch venue
Corporate catering or weekday trade concept
Casual dining venue
Eatery or takeaway format
Late-night restaurant and bar
