Mostly liquor — our number is ~total revenue. Estimated total revenue (rough): $1,000,022 – $1,111,136/year. Treat the valuation below as a screening estimate based on the alcohol portion alone.

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.
