Watkins Glen, NY 14891

A full-service waterfront restaurant located at 2 Seneca Harbor Drive on the Southern shore of Seneca Lake in Watkins Glen, New York. The restaurant/bar is a well-known destination on Seneca Lake and has operated as a restaurant/bar for over twelve years. The building is approximately 2500 sq. ft. including a covered porch. The landlord is providing a vanilla box without any furnishing and there is available for rent a fully equipped kitchen with utensils for extra fee. The building is being leased as-is. The desired operation is no less than 8 hours daily from April 16th through October 30th. While there have been no concerns historically, it is important to note that the facility resides on designated parkland which allows the public to utilize any outdoor seating. The building is adjacent to the Seneca Harbor marina and houses the mechanicals (infrastructure) for the marina. It also houses the restrooms and showers for the marina tenants who have external access at the rear of the building (the access to the external restrooms/showers shall be unrestricted from April through October). The unaudited annual gross sales from the restaurant, over the past six years, range from a low of $477,651 to a high of $933,974. Insurances are required and will be determined based on usage. Both the Schuyler County IDA and Schuyler County will be named as additional insured. The Village of Watkins Glen is located at the headwaters of Seneca Lake and is considered the gateway to New York State’s Finger Lakes Region. The accessibility from major metro areas such as NYC, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Toronto as well as nearby cities of Rochester, Syracuse, and Erie, Pennsylvania, make the Village of Watkins Glen a prime location for developers and investors alike. The economies of Watkins Glen and Schuyler County rely heavily on tourism to and through the Finger Lakes Region. Recent tourism statistics estimate Schuyler County hosts over 3 million annual visitors drawn to attractions in the Village and surrounding area including Watkins Glen International Speedway, Cornell University, nationally-recognized Watkins Glen State Park, Seneca Lake, Corning Museum of Glass, and the Seneca Lake Wine, Beer and Distillery Trails.
