About this home

A truly unique mixed-use opportunity in South Amboy! Formerly home to the well-known Double Dyme Tavern, the building features a commercial kitchen, distinctive bar area, exposed brick, rustic finishes, multiple service and food-preparation areas, and direct access to the outdoor deck. The restaurant space is currently leased to a food truck company that uses the property to prepare and cook food before loading its trucks for various events. Above the restaurant, a separately accessed residential apartment is currently tenant-occupied and offers an updated kitchen, comfortable living area, two bedrooms, a modern bath, in-unit laundry, and abundant natural light. An appealing opportunity for an investor or owner-user seeking both commercial and residential income potential. Any future use is subject to applicable municipal approvals, zoning requirements, licensing, and certificates of occupancy; buyers should independently verify all permitted uses with the City of South Amboy. The property is being sold without a liquor license.
