Cellar Vie, the Manchester city centre club that has been open since the 1960s, is up for sale.

The Lloyd Street bar has held a number of guises through different owners over the years, but its latest management team has been running the venue since 2002. It’s gone on the market with Cheshire-based Harvey Silver Hodgkinson for £129,950, however, due to the recent poor health of its owner.

The club currently only opens two nights a week – Friday and Saturday - and is operated entirely by its staff.

The sales brochure says the owners are looking for a ‘speedy sale’ but offers ‘tremendous potential for an enthusiastic owner operator to increase the existing takings’.

The club currently pulls in £7,000 a week and the asking price includes the business, the lease – which runs for 25 years from 2008 - and all fixtures and fittings. The rent on the venue is £865 a week and the bar has a licence for seven days a week.

Andrew Donaldson, senior negotiator at Harvey Silver Hodgkinson, said: “It’s unfortunate that it is for sale today due to ill health, but there is real potential to increase the takings by providing office functions and parties”.
