Burlington City, NJ – [June 4, 2026] – Vantage Commercial is pleased to announce the successful sale of the bar, restaurant, liquor license, and mixed-use property located at 148 West Broad Street in Burlington City, New Jersey.

The property, long known as Geraghty’s Pub & Restaurant, sits prominently on a corner location along Broad Street and has served as a recognizable gathering place within the Burlington City community. The sale included the real estate, bar and restaurant, liquor license, outdoor seating area, and an income-producing apartment above, creating a unique hospitality and investment opportunity for the buyer.

Ken Richardson, Vice President and Partner of Vantage Commercial, and John Doss, Senior Advisor at Vantage Commercial, represented the transaction, helping position the asset to buyers seeking both an established food and beverage operation and a strategically located mixed-use property in one of New Jersey’s most historic downtown markets.

“Properties like 148 West Broad Street carry more than just real estate value,” said Ken Richardson. “They are part of the fabric of the community. This sale brought together the business, the real estate, and the liquor license, creating a complete opportunity for the next owner to continue serving the Burlington City market.”

“Working with Ken Richardson, John Doss, and the Vantage Commercial team was a great experience,” said Seller of 148 West Broad Street. “Their knowledge of the market, communication throughout the process, and ability to manage both the business and real estate components of the sale made a complicated transaction feel organized from start to finish.”

Founded in 1677, Burlington City is one of New Jersey’s oldest communities and has played an important role in the state’s colonial and commercial history. Its historic district, walkable downtown, and Delaware River setting continue to support investment interest from entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, and real estate investors seeking distinctive properties with local character.

The sale of 148 West Broad Street reflects continued demand for well-located mixed-use and hospitality properties throughout South Jersey, particularly in historic downtown corridors where business operations, liquor licenses, residential income, and real estate ownership can combine into a compelling investment.
