Key West City MarinaSeveral years ago this property was a very successful locals bar and restaurant. I was told the lower level was also a drive-thru liquor store. That owner sold the property and went on to other ventures.
The most recent venture as a bait & tackle shop and restaurant was not the best "concept" I have heard of. A new owner may want to change the usage from restaurant to something quite different. The asking price of $995,000 or $259 per sq ft makes this property worthy of consideration as a potential renovation and conversion to a different use. I am not sure the existing "ramps" work for a restaurant or any other venture. If the property were converted to offices or mixed use, an internal elevator could be installed and that would permit ADA compliance and also clean up the cluttered exterior appearance.
There is additional parking in the rear where there is also a storage area with garage door.
