You have to see it to believe it at the Wood Samaritan on Lygon Street.The name being thought up after a particular long drinking session.  The kitsch, ski chalet-esque fit-out has wood-panelled ceilings, an odd assortment of wall art and a full-size canoe on the wall. It leaves you feeling caught somewhere between a family ski holiday and a sitcom Christmas special. Walking in will just make you smile.

There is foot path trading for four out the front. Inside is the bar with bar stools and a couple of tables.  That leads through to a boothed area for a large group and then on the kitchen.  It is a good size but only set up as a small operation rather than a full commercial kitchen.  From the bar there is a corridor that leads out to a large beer garden, toilets and then on to a smoking area.  Upstairs all the rooms of the old house have been set up with their own identity and also some more toilets.

The Woods Samaritan has an On Premises licence until 1am with a capacity of 100. There are six years left on the lease made up of 1+5 with others terms that can be negotiated upon transfer.  The rent is $1000 a week including GST. All fixtures and fittings are included in the sale including all the ornaments.  There are no supplier or equipment contracts.

The venue is ideal for an owner operator that wants to take on a venue with great character.  The over heads are low and there is a loyal local following with the venue having a great reputation.  The vendors business partner has moved overseas hence the sale.  Woods Samaritan has been run from the heart not the head so it is being sold on a walk in walk out basis with no books.  The vendor is therefore only looking for offers in the region of $85,000 for this quirky exclusively listed venue.

This venue is now SOLD.
