El Horno is a fully operational late-night hospitality venue located in the heart of Wellington’s busiest nightlife precinct - Courtenay Place. Established in 2008, this iconic small bar has built a strong reputation within Wellington’s entertainment scene and presents an affordable entry into the late-night hospitality market.
Positioned in a prime high-foot-traffic location, El Horno offers a vibrant cocktail bar atmosphere with an established customer base, DJ programming, strong late-night trade, and a fully operational setup ready for immediate takeover.
The venue has recently undergone refurbishment featuring artisan finishes, textured interiors, custom lighting, and a modern cocktail-focused fit-out. The compact footprint allows for efficient operations and strong service flow while maintaining excellent atmosphere and customer energy.
When you take over, the venue is already:
- Fully stocked (approximately $3,500 worth of product)
- Floated with tills and operational systems in place
- Rent-free for two months (approximate value $11,320)
- Fully equipped and operational - walk in and start trading
- Operating with a valuable late-night liquor licence
- Supported with one-month operational assistance including staffing systems, compliance, marketing support and DJ programming
Additional features include:
- Prime Courtenay Place location
- Fully licensed premises including outdoor seating
- Capacity for approximately 70 guests inside plus outdoor licensed seating
- Signature cocktail and sangria offering
- DJ booth and sound system
- Strong brand recognition and loyal customer base
- Opportunity for functions, themed nights and venue hire
- Significant growth potential under a hands-on operator
The business is currently underperforming relative to historical trading levels, creating a strong opportunity for a motivated owner-operator or hospitality group to revitalise and grow the venue.
Asking Price: $25,000
