Frequently Asked Questions

Well-located bars typically deliver 12-25% annual ROI depending on location and concept. Urban pubs average 14-18%, while high-volume nightclubs can achieve up to 25% ROI after operational costs.

Approximately 60% of listed bar properties include transferable liquor licenses, which can save buyers Ksh 500,000 to Ksh 2 million in application fees and waiting time (6-18 months processing). Always verify license validity with local authorities.

Critical factors include: foot traffic patterns (evening vs daytime), parking availability (minimum 5 spaces per 100 sqm), proximity to residential areas (affects closing hours), existing equipment condition (cooling systems especially), and compliance with noise regulations.

Prime locations like Nairobi's Westlands command premium prices (Ksh 80,000-120,000 per sq ft) due to high disposable income clientele. Suburban pubs average Ksh 40,000-60,000 per sq ft, while tourist-area bars vary seasonally but maintain strong rental yields.
