Hospitality operators and real estate investors will soon have the chance to bid on a rare, turnkey restaurant and banquet facility complete with a New Jersey liquor license during a court-ordered auction on Aug. 18.
The nearly 9,000-square-foot commercial property, located at 160 Lincoln Avenue in Hawthorne, is being brought to auction by Auction Advisors. The all-in-one sale combines the real estate, existing restaurant assets, and a highly coveted New Jersey Plenary Retail Consumption Liquor License—a rare package in a state where standalone liquor licenses are strictly capped and often carry substantial costs.
Key property highlights & asset inclusions
The two-story masonry building comes fully equipped for immediate hospitality use and features an unusually large parking area for Northern New Jersey.
- Location: 160 Lincoln Avenue, Hawthorne, Passaic County
- Building Size: Approximately 9,000± square feet
- Parking: 54 dedicated spaces
- Assets Included: Commercial kitchen equipment, restaurant furniture, fixtures, and general venue equipment
- Liquor License: N.J. Plenary Retail Consumption Liquor License (No. 1604-33-009-007) currently tied to the site
“Opportunities like this rarely come to market,” Oren Klein, managing partner at Auction Advisors, said. “Because this license has historically operated at the property, a buyer has a significant head start compared to acquiring a vacant building and attempting to obtain or relocate a license. Combined with the existing restaurant improvements, banquet facilities, and extensive parking, this property is uniquely positioned for a wide range of hospitality uses.”
