About this home

A downtown Bellingham fixture since 2002, voted Best Happy Hour four years in a row by Cascadia Weekly readers and renovated in 2022. Own the name, the rooms, and the recipes behind one of downtown’s best-known cocktail bars. The bar spans two connected rooms at 304 & 306 W. Champion St. The Green room holds the main bar and about 25 seats. The Red room adds about 30 seats, including custom-built booth and bench pews with storage beneath. Antique chandeliers, framed mirrors, and string lighting give the space its old-world character. A sidewalk patio setup with five metal tables and custom steel posts adds seasonal seating. Sale includes the Temple Bar trade name, historic website, and seller training on the menu and recipes. FF&E includes a CMA low-temp dish machine, two Beverage-Air prep-top refrigerators, under-counter bar refrigeration, Toast POS hardware, all glassware and dishes, and the blue neon TEMPLE BAR sign. Food service has historically run from behind the bar, and the layout also supports an off-site commissary kitchen. Expansion option: the adjoining former brunch space is available under a second lease, adding prep and cooking space, a walk-in refrigerator, freezer storage, a second dishwasher, about 31 more seats, and the brunch-side equipment. Business assets only. Food and liquor stock excluded. Subject to landlord lease approval. Revenue history available to qualified buyers. $45,000 or best offer.
