At the rear of the venue are a small commercial kitchen and restrooms, ensuring seamless service.
Cabinet Bar holds an On-Premises Liquor Licence until 1am and is approved for a capacity of 90 patrons. The lease has three years remaining, with the landlord open to adding extra terms for the incoming operator. Rent is $2,900 per week gross, including outgoings (landlord insurance, council rates) and the council lease fee for use of the balcony airspace above Swanston Street.
All fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, and no supplier or equipment contracts are being transferred, offering a clean handover for the new owner.
