Famous waterfront Sundance Saloon for sale

Anybody want to buy a famous bar? The Sundance Saloon on the Parker Strip is for sale with a listing price of $4.5 million.

Sundance was best-known for being ‘the’ epic party spot on the river back in the 70s and 80s, with years of successive river rats pulling up their boats and packing it out for drinks, live music, food, foam parties and much more.

It had been closed for years until 2014, when the original owner, Jim Shubin, reopened it on Memorial Day and advertised it for sale. Norm Turley, a retired police officer from Long Beach and co-owner of a bar in Belmont Shore, saw the ad. A desert racer for years, Turley knew Sundance, and decided to buy the property and keep it open.

The 1.5 acre property comes with a 18,000 square foot building, including bar, restaurant, stage, gathering areas, docks including outdoor stage and outdoor bar, dance floors, boat and waverunner slips and almost 300 feet of river frontage.

  20. I doubt it will ever be successful again. There’s not nearly enough tourism to support it – definitely not the numbers of tourists there used to be, when it was (in)famous and a place to make memories.

    Maybe turn it into a hotel. Probably the only way to make ????.

  121. Well at $4.5 million, and a season that runs peak from April or May thru maybe September, you would need $1000 clear PER DAY during those months just to make the mortgage at 3.5% from the SBA. Not counting staff, liquor license, insurance, taxes and so on. An alternative MIGHT be to use that 300 feet of river frontage for a high end hotel. But you then would have construction costs, still need a liquor license and so on. So another option might be to build high end condos with an HOA fee that would cover costs like ramp maintenance docks and so forth…but then no SBA admin loan…but also no liquor license and so on. I learned to sling hash there back in the day..we used to swim across the river from Echo with our skis and ropes and hitch ski rides from all the boaters. What a fab place it was.

    Completely revamp it. Hotel restaurant, and many things to do.
    THE KIDS really aren’t having as much fun as you think hanging out at dock bars! ????
