Iconic  restaurant site once known as a very popular German Restaurant and later, as Churchill's  English pub, this property is very well known to the locals of Allegany county and beyond!.The original owner  (Warners) lived and brought up his family in the 2nd story house above the restaurant (which was actually 2 stories!). The new owners remodeled that same space with the ultimate plan to make the floor above an additional income producing apartment. The main restaurant was improved extensively by the second owners and included sprinklers, wet, walk-in cooler, new bathrooms,  and a spacious, quaint back yard deck w/ full bar, plenty of seating, and a tent to be able to use in inclemet weather. They also purchased two additional parcels to allow for ample parking.  There is so much more to offer that doesn't immediately meet the eye, but it is important to point out that, along with the improvements, all contents ae included. The list is too long to name all, but should be sufficient to begin a restaurant almost immediately after being cleaned and put back into proper order.
The restaurants, both unique, were a favorite spot for all and offered entertainment and a great, fun atmosphere not soon forgotten. If you mention it today many generations will speak fondly of going to proms, first dates, and any special occassions there--or just a quiet dinner and maybe some live music to enjoy on summer nights. 
Other possible uses may be a bed and breakfast, garden shop, professional business, or a multi-unit apartment building--lots of potential.
Located on a very busy portion of McMullen Hwy (aka Rt. 220 S) which provides ample visibility traveling North or South.

Building and contents convey in their current condition.
