Profitable Bottle Shop and Wine Bar – Melbourne

This business opportunity presents a unique hybrid bottle shop and wine bar operating within Melbourne’s growing experience-led hospitality sector. Combining traditional takeaway liquor sales with a premium on-premise social venue, the business has established itself as a destination for craft beer, wine, events, and community engagement.

Currently operating under management and generating adjusted profits of approximately $100,643, the business offers flexibility for both investors and owner operators. A hands-on operator has the opportunity to work the majority of shifts personally, reducing wage costs while drawing an owner’s income from the operation.

The venue features an extensive curated range of over 150 craft beers alongside wines, spirits, RTDs, and premium labels. Additional revenue is generated through tastings, activations, catering opportunities, and regular social events that continue to build customer loyalty and repeat visitation.

Included in the sale is a food van utilised for catering and event activations, creating additional growth potential and operational flexibility.

Positioned within a strong local community setting, the business benefits from an inviting outdoor social environment designed to encourage longer customer dwell time and increased foot traffic purchases.
