Description

Here is your opportunity to purchase (or lease) a piece of East Aurora history. The General Riley House aka The Speakeasy is a multilevel business with a Speakeasy in the basement and seating lounges and cocktail/wine bar upstairs. On any given evening, people in the know look for the flame in the gas light lantern announcing that the bars are open. The Speakeasy is one block off main street across from Wallenwein Bar and adjacent to Elm Street Bakery. Though it has limited hours, the sales are nevertheless quite substantial. The newly renovated upstairs has been well-received and the word of mouth is still building. During our sensational summers, warm spring days and crisp autumn afternoons, the backyard outdoor stone patio and garden offer additional opportunities for patrons to gather. The backyard tiki hut is equipped with a kegerator and refrigerator for outdoor drink service. The outdoor brick pizza oven makes private events extra special.This historic General Riley House, built circa 1825, has been lovingly restored to the period and modern standards. It is turn key and ready to operate your bar/restaurant business. The setting is perfect for hospitality and private events. The third floor renovated apartment offers additional income possibilities with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an updated kitchen, office and living room. A quaint and thriving village with an unusually distinguished place in history, East Aurora was a center of the American Arts & Crafts movement, the summer home of President Millard Fillmore, and has long been known for equine sport and pleasure. This history is being preserved through a careful dedication to maintain small town charm with successful growth. As you stroll the center of the village of East Aurora you'll be drawn into one of the many restaurants, renowned art galleries, boutiques, coffee and chocolate shops. Clothing stores, antique shops, bakeries, and bookstores. The town bustles with residents and visitors and has become one of Western New York's favorite leisure destinations. There are year-round events and festivals that draw folks to town all year long.
