255 King Street E Hamilton, Sale Of Business for Sale

A rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing, well-known restaurant in the heart of downtown Hamilton. Das Schnitzelhaus (formerly Black Forest Inn) has been a fixture in the community for decades and now operates under new ownership, offering a solid foundation with room for growth. The restaurant spans approximately 4,866 square feet and is located within a heritage-designated building, providing character, charm, and an authentic atmosphere that is difficult to replicate. Current weekly sales average $20,000-$25,000, with upside potential through expanded hours, programming, or concept refinement. Licensed for 130 indoor seats plus an additional 93 seats on a highly visible corner patio, this space is well-positioned to capitalize on downtown foot traffic, events, and seasonal patio demand. The existing concept is well-established and recognized, and continuing the operation as-is would be ideal. That said, the layout and ambiance also lend themselves to alternative concepts-such as a traditional Irish pub for operators looking to put their own stamp on a historic space. The current owner is committed to a smooth transition and will remain on-site to train and assist for 4-6 weeks, ensuring continuity of operations and knowledge transfer. An excellent opportunity for an experienced operator or hands-on owner seeking a character-rich location with history, liquor licensing, and long-term potential in a growing downtown core. New lease to be negotiated with Landlord. Current Gross Rent = $8000 Inclusive of TMI & HST. Please do not go direct or speak to staff. Your discretion is appreciated.
