Restaurant Opportunity in Historic Ellicott City – 5,000 SF available
A rare opportunity is opening this fall in the heart of Old Ellicott City. This is a second-generation restaurant space—formerly home to Pure Wine, which closed during the pandemic—offering a strong foundation for your next concept.
Located directly on Main Street near Lot D, this two-level, space includes an outdoor patio and flexible build-out potential, with the ability to expand into a third and even fourth floor over time (totaling 5,000 square feet when full building is in use). Positioned at the top of the hill, this location is safely outside the floodplain, with major flood mitigation efforts by Howard County nearing completion.
What makes this timing exceptional: the mill at the base of the street is being transformed by the same architect behind Hampden’s Mill No. 1. Once completed, it will bring a surge of new residents and visitors, along with new parking solutions, further energizing Old Ellicott City's growing food and drink scene.
Flexible lease terms available. Ideal for chefs, restaurateurs, wine bar or cocktail lounge concepts, or multi-level experiences. If you’re ready to be part of Old Ellicott City’s next chapter, let’s talk.
Serious inquiries only. Additional details available upon request.
