About 3842 S Congress Avenue
Rare opportunity to take over a fully built-out, $1M+ restaurant, coffee, and event space on South Congress Avenue, one of Austin’s most recognized and highest-traffic corridors with 18,000+ vehicles passing daily, offering exceptional visibility, accessibility, and branding potential near hotels, retail, nightlife, and dense residential growth. The property features 2,163 SF of interior space designed for efficient operations and guest flow, with seating for approximately 95 guests indoors, along with a highly desirable drive-thru lane equipped with an HME system, two indoor bar areas, a built-in stage for live music and events, and a full commercial kitchen with existing infrastructure. The space includes approximately 15 dedicated parking spaces and over $1M in improvements already completed, allowing for a true turnkey, plug-and-play opportunity that significantly reduces startup time and cost. An outdoor patio with seating for up to 150 guests is not included in the base lease but can be secured for an additional monthly fee, providing flexibility for operators looking to expand capacity and enhance the overall guest experience. The versatile layout supports a wide range of concepts including coffee shop, QSR, wine or cocktail bar, beer garden, bakery, event venue, ghost kitchen, catering hub, or retail and hospitality hybrid, with additional upside through extended hours, event programming, and drive-thru activation. Opportunities with this level of build-out, parking, drive-thru capability, and South Congress frontage are extremely limited, making this a high-demand asset in one of Austin’s most sought-after commercial corridors.
