About this home
Turnkey downtown hotspot in the heart of Calais--just steps from the international border crossing into Canada. This well-known local bar and restaurant has built a loyal following and is ready for its next chapter. Licensed for 94 seats inside plus 20 outside, this space is built for energy and volume. The back deck offers distant river views and is ready to be finished--an easy value add with strong upside. This property needs attention, but the opportunity is clear. With updates and detailing, a new owner can quickly refresh, rebrand, and build equity in a high-traffic location. Upstairs one bedroom living quarters adds flexibility for an owner-operator or future rental, though it will require work. Bring your vision and take this established downtown spot to the next level.
