01 · The Offering

Buy the bar. Own the building.

Watson's Vet's Club has traded on N Mt. Shasta Boulevard since 1896 — the town's principal retail street, one block from the Interstate 5 interchange. The offering includes the operating business, both ABC licences, and the building it occupies, sold together to a single owner.

Why it stands out

  • Property, business, and two ABC licences in one transaction
  • No rent and no landlord — normally a bar's largest controllable cost
  • Type 48 licences are quota-limited and rarely available in Siskiyou County
  • A finished private club room upstairs, with its own bar

Location

The building sits mid-block on the town's main retail street, between a craft beer and bike retailer and a print and shipping business. Foot traffic is seasonal and driven by visitors as much as residents. The Interstate 5 interchange is one block away.

Buyer verification

All figures and measurements are approximate, are drawn from the owner, assessor, and title records, and have not been independently verified by Jefferson State Realty. Square footage is an estimate, not a measured survey. Buyers must independently verify all information and satisfy themselves through their own inspections and advisors.

The building is original 1896 construction. As with any building of its era, a buyer will want their own structural and systems inspections, and the scope and approach to any work are a buyer's to determine.

03 · The Operation

How the bar trades.

A fully fixtured bar with an established weekly schedule and repeat local business. Financial detail is released on execution of a confidentiality agreement.

The week

  • Tuesday — karaoke
  • Wednesday — free pool all day
  • Thursday — pool league and bingo
  • Friday — DJ
  • Saturday — beer pong
  • Open to the public, 21 and over

What drives it

  • Beer and spirits led, with no kitchen obligation
  • Jukebox, pool tables, and merchandise on top
  • Repeat local trade built over decades
  • Seasonal visitor traffic on the main retail street
  • Fully fixtured and trading — a turnkey operation
Financial detail

Profit and loss statements from 2018, operating expense schedules, and the itemised owner add-back schedule are provided to a prospective purchaser on execution of a confidentiality agreement. Request the package.

All information is supplied by the owner and has not been verified by Jefferson State Realty. Buyers must verify independently.

04 · Second Floor

A private club upstairs.

Approximately 1,700 SF above the bar — a finished club room with its own bar, seating, a fireplace, and a poker table, plus additional rooms and a full bath.

What a buyer would look at

  • It is already finished, not an empty shell
  • C-1 permits residential within a commercial building
  • A hood-vented room suggests a prior kitchen
  • Confirm intended configuration with the City

Not separately let today

The offering is priced on the building and the business as they stand. Whatever a buyer makes of the upper floor — club, apartment, or something else — is theirs.

Upside, not priced in

Housing in Mount Shasta is tight relative to local incomes, and this is a finished floor already sitting inside a building on the main street.

02

The Setting

Mount Shasta and south Siskiyou County

05 · The Setting

A 14,179-foot mountain in the back yard.

Mount Shasta is the second-highest peak in the Cascades and the reason people come. Visitors are the difference between a bar serving 3,182 residents and one on a street that fills through the season.

Winter

  • Mt. Shasta Ski Park — three lifts, night skiing, Nordic trails
  • Backcountry and snowmobile terrain on the mountain's flanks
  • Snowshoe and cross-country routes from Bunny Flat
  • Season typically runs late November into April

Summiting

  • Avalanche Gulch — the standard route, 7,000 ft of gain
  • Climbing season runs roughly April through July
  • Guide services and permits based in town
  • Casaval Ridge and Hotlum-Bolam for experienced parties

Water and trail

  • McCloud River Falls — upper, middle, and lower, 25 minutes
  • Lake Siskiyou — swimming, paddling, camping, 5 minutes
  • Heart Lake and Castle Lake — alpine, above the town
  • Pacific Crest Trail and Castle Crags State Park

06 · Market Context

Mount Shasta and Siskiyou County.

City population3,182
Median age51.2
County population~43,600
Land area3.8 sq mi
Summit elevation14,179 ft

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-year estimates. Small-place estimates carry wide margins of error.

A stable, older resident base

Median age is 51.2 against 37.9 statewide. The bar's trade is repeat local business built over years, with a weekly event schedule that keeps it regular rather than seasonal.

Visitors carry the upside

Tourism is the largest contributor to the local economy, and the bar sits on the main retail street one block from the I-5 interchange.

A thin commercial market

Downtown Mount Shasta produces two or three improved commercial closings a year. Buildings on the main street rarely come available, and almost never with a licensed business attached.

07 · The Licences

The licences.

Both convey with the sale, already attached to the premises.

ABC Type 48 — On-Sale General, Public Premises

The most flexible on-sale licence California issues. Beer, wine, and distilled spirits for consumption on the premises, with no requirement to serve food and no kitchen obligation. An adult venue, 21 and over.

ABC Type 58 — Caterer's Permit

Held alongside the Type 48, it allows the licensee to sell and serve alcohol at approved events away from the premises — a second revenue channel that travels.

Why they matter

  • Type 48 is quota-limited in California — supply is fixed
  • Rarely available in Siskiyou County at any price
  • No food service obligation, so the operating model stays simple
  • The caterer's permit extends the licence beyond the four walls
A note on scarcity

California caps the number of general on-sale licences by county population. In a county of roughly 43,600 people that ceiling is low, and existing licences change hands infrequently. Transfer is subject to Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control approval, and a buyer should satisfy themselves on the process and their own qualification.

08 · Due Diligence
