Description

A rare opportunity to own an established bayfront restaurant "Twisties Tavern on the Bay", located between Ocean City and Sea Isle City in Strathmere. With a loyal following, Twisties is known for its friendly service, delicious food, drinks, and breathtaking bay views with stunning sunsets. This Strathmere tradition for 95 years has a rich history, its even rumored that Al Capone once visited, inspiring the owners to begin their collection of mounted fish that now adorn the walls. This iconic tavern underwent a major renovation in 2010, enhancing its charm while preserving its history, including the mahogany bar dating back to 1929. The restaurant and bar are decorated with nautical dcor, carved coconut heads, and vintage memorabilia, adding to its unique character. Inside, guests enjoy a nostalgic atmosphere, where the jukebox still plays both old tunes and new favorites. The restaurant offers seating for 98 guests indoors and 25 for outdoor dining on the deck, where guests can take in the waterfront views and ocean breeze. The lower terrace can accommodate seating for an additional 50 guests. Visitors arrive by car, bicycle, or boat, with five boat slips available for those who prefer to dock and dine. Twisties has earned the title of the #1 local restaurant and bar on Google, TripAdvisor, and Yelp, drawing visitors from all over who come to enjoy the fantastic food, handcrafted drinks, and unforgettable sunsets over the bay. The menu offers a variety of delicious dishes, from fresh seafood and mouthwatering burgers to creative small plates and specialty drinks, ensuring theres something for everyone to enjoy. This turn key operation includes a fully equipped large commercial kitchen, a dedicated wait station, and a totally equipped bar providing ample space for the staff to work efficiently. The restaurant and bar are equipped with acoustic soundproofing panels to make for a more pleasant dining experience.The property also features a lovely 2nd floor residence accessible via a private entrance.
