Established Bar & Entertainment Venue | Rare 3:00 am Weekend Licence
Asking: $320,000
Beer & Loathing is a well-known hospitality and entertainment venue in central Whangārei, with a bold brand, loyal following and a genuine point of difference.
Its standout advantage is a rare 3:00am weekend licence, allowing the venue to capture valuable late-night trade after many other local bars have closed.
The business attracts customers across the full evening, from food, drinks and live entertainment earlier on, through to a strong late-night crowd from around 11:00 pm.
Since extending its late-night trading hours in November 2025, Beer & Loathing has generated approximately $426,600 in trading income over nine months, averaging around $47,400 per month.
