The Bobcat Café & Brewery - For Sale
Dear friends,
We have news to share: The Bobcat Café & Brewery is now officially for sale.
Since we closed our doors, many of you have asked what comes next for 5 Main Street. We hope the answer is a new owner who will open the doors again and give Bristol the Third Place it deserves. That means a spot between home and work where neighbors run into each other, families celebrate and friends linger over a pint.
We think this is a great opportunity. The Bobcat is a turnkey restaurant and brewery in the heart of downtown Bristol, and it's available immediately. If you, or someone you know, has ever dreamed of running a restaurant and brewery in a small Vermont town, you can find all the details on the listing: The Bobcat Café & Brewery on V/T Commercial
Or reach out to our broker directly:

“The Third Place…
hosts the regular, voluntary, informal and happily anticipated gatherings of individuals beyond the realms of home and work. Your third place is where you relax in public, where you encounter familiar faces and make new acquaintances, the heart of a community’s social vitality” -Ray Oldenburg, urban sociologist
