This property at East Main Street in Dwight, Illinois, presents an impressive downtown commercial opportunity, once home to the popular Lu’s Sports Bar & Grill. The expansive two-story structure encompasses roughly six thousand square feet of interior space, including a full basement, all tastefully remodeled to serve as a turnkey hospitality venue. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, along with an information system setup of multiple draft taps, walk-in cooling and freezing units, and a point-of-sale network complete with numerous registers. The main level centers around a striking wraparound bar crafted from solid oak and topped with granite, believed to be one of the oldest in town and originally reclaimed from a nineteenth-century ship. This bar area is complemented by modern seating, a hardwood dance floor, and a stage ready for live performances.
The property’s facade has been completely refreshed, plumbing and mechanical systems updated, and both heating and cooling installations modernized. A rubber-coated roof with enhanced insulation and enhanced stonework sourced from Wisconsin contribute to a sophisticated exterior finish. Inside, the atmosphere is enhanced by multiple flat-panel televisions, surround-sound audio, and a secure environment monitored by an array of surveillance cameras. For added guest engagement, a private gaming room is included. With its combination of historic charm and contemporary finishes, this downtown venue is well positioned to welcome patrons seeking a vibrant social and entertainment destination.
