Retail 1/17-19 Central Avenue, Manly, NSW 2095

Belle Property Commercial is thrilled to present this extraordinary hospitality opportunity in the heart of Manly, seamlessly combining prime street-level retail with a meticulously designed underground F&B space. With an award-winning fit-out and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, this property offers a rare chance to establish a standout venue in the heart of Manly’s vibrant hospitality scene. The premise is currently owner occupied with potential vacant possession, so the property will have huge appeal for both investors and owner occupiers alike.

Ground Level: The street-facing, elegant retail space features a unique and tasteful shopfront, drawing inspiration from late 19th-century European trader stores. Fine-detailed joinery, custom mosaic work, and expertly rendered finishes using wax, plaster, and paint create an illusion of age and depth. The result is a façade that captivates passersby and sets the tone for the refined experience within.

Lower Level: A truly unique feature of this property lies beneath; a spiral stone-clad staircase leads guests into an intimate underground speakeasy bar, designed to evoke old-world charm. Textured brickwork, hand-carved sandstone, reclaimed timber, and antique brass and copper accents create a richly layered atmosphere. Vintage furnishings complement the raw materials, while elegant marble benchtops add an air of sophistication. Warm pendant lighting enhances the ambience, making this an inviting and immersive hospitality experience.
