Disclaimer: Revenue is mixed-beverage gross receipts from the Texas Comptroller — it does not include cash income like door charges, game machines, merchandise, or event rentals (which can add 10–25% for nightclubs). Cost ratios are industry benchmarks for Texas MB-permit bars. Rent is estimated from submarket comps; property tax is from county public records pro-rated by square footage. Actual profit depends on lease terms, staffing, owner salary, and one-time costs.

If you're buying the whole restaurant, not just the bar program

We estimate this mexican restaurant pulls $2,568,631–$4,495,105/yr in total revenue (your liquor portion of $899,021 is roughly 20–35% of the total per industry benchmarks). Applied to that estimated total: revenue multiple 0.30–0.50×, net margin 10–15%, SDE multiple 2.5–4.0× (restaurant comps, not bar comps).

Confidence on this estimate is lower than the liquor-only valuation above — we're inferring food revenue from category averages, not from this specific operator's books. A serious buyer should request actual P&Ls + a Schedule C / 1120S.
