FOR SALE: The Becida Bar – A Northwoods Gem with 15 acres, an RV park and Unlimited Potential!
Discover an incredible opportunity to own a northern Minnesota landmark at the heart of the community! The Becida Bar, just 16 miles from Bemidji, and 13 miles from Lake Itasca, is a turn-key bar and restaurant with prime potential for expansion and versatility. The main floor with nearly 4,000-square-foot space boasts a commercial-grade kitchen equipped with fryers, grills, walk-in and freestanding refrigeration, and a full lineup of small wares. The lower level serves itself as a great storage space with laundry facility, and extra refrigeration storage, including the walk in Keg Cooler! The bar itself features a charming horseshoe design, high-top tables, rustic decor, and a sprawling deck that overlooks horseshoe pits in the back – perfect for outdoor gatherings. A newly installed mound septic system ensures smooth operations for years to come
The ambiance is both inviting and distinctly “up north” thanks to the beautiful knotty pine tongue-and-groove interior, creating an authentic and rustic setting that customers love. Not only does this bar have space for customers to relax and enjoy, but it also has untapped potential as an event venue with ample room to add billiards, dart boards, and other amenities, or even expand seating for larger groups and celebrations. This property sits on 15 acres, offering room for expansion or new opportunities to create a true recreational destination.
With 16 RV sites, equipped with electric hook-ups, this property caters to campers and travelers looking for a comfortable and scenic spot to enjoy the outdoors. A 26x40 garage near the RV park presents a unique opportunity: convert it into a lodge for RV guests, or storage, adding yet another income stream and enhancing the appeal for long-term or repeat visitors. The current RV area used to be a “ball park,” but with some imagination, it could easily be transformed into a recreational sports complex. Consider adding a volleyball court or even a mini sports area to attract extra traffic during the peak season. The large backyard space can be used for activities and events that would draw in visitors and locals alike, creating an atmosphere of fun and community.
The Becida Bar also benefits from a high-visibility location. With a 2022 traffic count of over 800 cars daily, there is no shortage of drive-by exposure on the intersection of county roads 3 and 9, making it ideal for seasonal promotions or new offerings. This property is situated close to popular ATV and snowmobile trails, attracting outdoor enthusiasts year-round and adding to the steady flow of patrons through all seasons. The only gas pump around for miles is also located on this property!
This business is truly set up for success with flexible spaces, amenities, and a loyal community following. Add billiards tables, dart boards, arcade games, or set up additional seating for a sports-themed area – the options are endless. Between the community ties, RV park, high daily traffic, and endless customization options, The Becida Bar is a one-of-a-kind chance to own a well-loved establishment with so much room to grow.
Make your mark with a place that combines classic Northwoods charm, a welcoming community vibe, and boundless potential for a thriving business! Let's collaborate to see how we can make this business opportunity work for you!
