Description
Exceptional turnkey restaurant opportunity in the heart of Downtown St. Catharines' vibrant culinary and entertainment district. Located on St. Paul Street near James, surrounded by acclaimed restaurants and nightlife in a walkable downtown recently ranked #9 on Time Out's 40 Coolest Neighbourhoods in the World for 2026. Major year-round traffic generators include the Meridian Centre, First Ontario Performing Arts Centre, Brock University's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine & Performing Arts, downtown events and festivals, and Niagara's internationally recognized wine and culinary tourism industry. Purpose-designed for restaurant use and comprehensively rebuilt from the studs under permits and engineering, with Parker Architects involved from design through completion. Major infrastructure was upgraded, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas services and sprinkler system. The commercial kitchen and equipment package was professionally sourced through Advantage Restaurant Supply and selected specifically for the operation. The beautifully finished main level features an open commercial kitchen, dining room, custom bar, accessible washroom and seasonal front patio. A dedicated lower level provides private dining/event space, its own washrooms, prep and service areas, walk-in refrigeration and additional storage. Further lower-level space provides service/storage areas and a rear walkout. Currently licensed for 56 occupants on the main level plus 36 in the lower seating lounge, with a BYOW endorsement. Extensive commercial cooking, refrigeration, prep, bar and service equipment included. An outstanding opportunity to introduce a new concept without the substantial time and capital required to recreate a restaurant of this calibre. New lease to be negotiated with landlord. Liquor licensing subject to AGCO approval.
