About 253 Main Street
The Linwood is a long-established multi-revenue-stream bar, restaurant, and liquor store located in the center of downtown Seldovia. Positioned on two prime city lots overlooking the harbor, ocean, and mountains, this turnkey operation is the only business in town open 365 days a year, making it a cornerstone of both the local community and the summer tourism market.
Originally rebuilt in 1966 The Linwood is a long-established, multi-revenue stream bar, restaurant, and liquor store located in the center of downtown Seldovia. Positioned on two prime city lots overlooking the harbor, and continually improved, the facility includes a full commercial kitchen, updated storage areas, and multiple income-producing residential units: a one-bed/one-bath apartment, a two-bed/one-bath apartment, and two private living quarters. These provide flexibility for owner-occupancy, staff housing, or potential short-term rentals. The business has demonstrated consistent growth outside of the COVID period, driven by strong summer visitor traffic and a loyal year-round local customer base. Regular live music events, steady winter contractor patronage, and a well-regarded dining and beverage program contribute to dependable revenue.
Expansion opportunities include catering services, developing a gift shop or retail area, extending the liquor license for outdoor service, adding covered event space, and converting portions of the upstairs into nightly rentals. Music and event programming could also be scaled into ticketed offerings. With its unmatched location, historic reputation, and multiple avenues for continued growth, The Linwood offers buyers a rare opportunity to acquire one of Seldovia's most iconic and profitable hospitality assets.
