About this home

Rare opportunity to own a beautiful single family home AND a neighborhood favorite restaurant, all in the same package. The Casual Inn is available for sale along side the 1440sq' 3br/2ba home just behind it (MLS 1398348). Both parcels must convey together. Asking price is for both properties combined. The Casual Inn has been serving the good folks of Bristol RI and a wide variety of out of town diners since 1969. With 90+ seats, 3 kitchen staff, 5 wait staff and a very loyal following, the current owner hopes that her successor will be able to carry on the Casual Inn's tradition with relative ease. A purchase here would include a 15' hood, ten burner range with double over, two fryers, one two burner griddle, one 3 tray steam warming table, above ground grease trap, two commercial freezers, three fridge/freezers, two chest freezers, ice machine, two low-boy coolers at the bar, liquor inventory, furniture, table ware & dry-stock. Roof is 2yrs old and skylights are watertight. Men's and women's bathrooms are well kept and sound system is operational. The building has second and third egress plus modern fire alarm with pull stations. What could you do with a completely set up F&B business and a loyal following?
