Turnkey Restaurant, Bar & Rooftop Venue + Real Estate in Prime - Downtown Kansas City
An exceptional opportunity to acquire both the thriving business and valuable real estate of John’s Big Deck, a Kansas City landmark operating since 1983. This ±8,000 SF three-story restaurant, bar, and event venue sits on a high-visibility hard corner in the heart of downtown, surrounded by corporate offices, hotels, government buildings, and major foot traffic drivers.
Featuring a dynamic multi-level layout — with a lively first-floor sports bar, a private second-floor event space, and a stunning rooftop deck offering panoramic city views — the business consistently generates ~$3M–$3.5M in annual sales with strong cash flow margins and a cap rate of ~16.6%. Recent upgrades include modernized interiors, new rooftop units, and updated plumbing and electrical systems, ensuring no deferred maintenance and reduced future capital needs.
The property and business are priced significantly below combined market value, offering immediate built-in equity of nearly $800,000. Located within TIF, CID, Opportunity Zone, Urban Renewal, and Enterprise Zone districts, this asset benefits from multiple economic incentives that further enhance ROI.
With its long-standing reputation, loyal customer base, diverse revenue streams (including liquor, food, events, and merchandise), and additional upside from event rentals and seasonal sales, John’s Big Deck presents a rare chance to own a fully established operation and appreciating downtown real estate — all positioned for continued success and long-term growth.
