Discover a standout commercial opportunity in the heart of the White Lake Area, one of West Michigan's most inviting lakeshore communities. Just a block from White Lake and minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, this approximately 4,000-square-foot property combines a highly visible downtown location with an extensively renovated restaurant, bar and event setting ready for a new owner's vision.
Located in downtown Montague, the property sits within the White Lake Area alongside neighboring Whitehall and offers the character of a true West Michigan lakeshore town. Behind the building's original brick-and-block exterior is a substantially transformed interior.
Beginning in 2024, the interior was completely renovated and reconfigured for its current restaurant and hospitality use, resulting in a modern commercial kitchen, built-in bar, dining areas and updated finishes. The investment continued in 2026 with completion of the dedicated event area, featuring new flooring, finished walls and ceiling.
The result is the character of an established downtown masonry building paired with a recently rebuilt interior designed for today's restaurant, hospitality and event use. The property is exceptionally well equipped. The commercial kitchen includes extensive cooking, refrigeration, preparation and ventilation equipment, including specialty pizza equipment, commercial hood and fire-suppression components.
The built-in bar, restaurant furnishings, event furnishings and substantial additional furniture, fixtures and equipment create a compelling opportunity to establish a new concept in an already developed hospitality setting. A detailed equipment and inclusions list is available through the listing agents.
Flexible indoor capacity totals 99. The restaurant accommodates 50 guests, including 10 seats at the built-in bar, while the separate event area can accommodate up to 49 guests. The event area may also provide flexibility for expanded restaurant seating when desired.
