Property Description

Location, location, location! Exceptional commercial opportunity in the heart of downtown Watkins Glen on highly traveled Franklin Street, just three blocks from Seneca Lake and the waterfront pier. Positioned in one of the Finger Lakes' premier tourism destinations, this prime location benefits from more than 3 million visitors annually who come to experience the area's wineries, breweries, Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen International, boating, shopping, and year-round attractions.

Whether your vision is a café, bakery, restaurant, wine bar, brewery, cocktail lounge, coffee roastery, tasting room, specialty retail shop, gourmet market, or another exciting business venture, this versatile two-story property offers the space, infrastructure, and premier location to bring your vision to life.

The main level comfortably seats approximately 38 guests and features a welcoming dining area with individual tables, bar seating, and a full-service bar equipped with several beer taps utilizing a newer glycol system. The commercial kitchen is highlighted by a rotating gas-fired brick pizza oven positioned in full view of customers, creating an inviting focal point and memorable dining experience from the moment guests walk through the door.

The second floor offers seating for approximately 62 additional guests with a similar open layout, including table seating and a second full-service bar, providing outstanding flexibility for private events, overflow dining, live entertainment, or expanded service.

Additional features include three restrooms, two furnaces, central air conditioning, a spacious partial basement with a newer walk-in cooler and brand-new ice maker, plus ample storage and operational space to support a busy commercial operation.

Commercial properties with this combination of location, existing infrastructure, and flexible space rarely become available in downtown Watkins Glen. Whether you're launching a new concept, expanding an established business, or making an investment in one of the Finger Lakes' most sought-after destinations, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.
