Occupancy analysis

All-in occupancy cost is 18.0% of gross revenue. Industry benchmark for healthy bars is 6–10%; 12–15% is typical for premium submarkets; above 18% is unsustainable without very strong margins elsewhere.

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.

The numbers above are liquor-only: bar-style multiples applied to mixed-beverage receipts. They're the right answer for a pure bar/lounge — but for a restaurant, this is just one slice of total enterprise value (the bar program). See the food-business estimate below.
Full-business estimate · Bowling Alley

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

We estimate this bowling alley pulls $4,185,462–$6,577,154/yr in total revenue (your liquor portion of $2,302,004 is roughly 35–55% 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.
