A rare opportunity to own one of Cynthiana's most recognizable and beloved businesses, Biancke's Restaurant has been serving the community since 1894, making it a true landmark with more than a century of history, tradition, and loyal customers. When you purchase Biancke's, you're not simply acquiring the real estate at 102 South Main Street in Cynthiana —you are investing in a well-established brand, an outstanding reputation, and a thriving business with a customer base that has already been built over generations. Strategically located in the heart of historic downtown Cynthiana, the property consists of three adjoining buildings seamlessly connected into an inviting main dining area with seating for approximately 175 guests. The 2019 addition of The Station at Biancke's expanded the restaurant with an additional 50 indoor seats and 50 outdoor patio seats, creating even more opportunities for dining, entertainment, and special events. Above the main restaurant is a spacious private banquet hall with seating for approximately 60 guests, currently not in use and offering tremendous potential for private parties, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, receptions, or additional business expansion. Known as the community's gathering place, Biancke's welcomes guests from breakfast through dinner while hosting countless family celebrations, bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, business meetings, and memorable evenings with friends. Its longstanding presence has made it an integral part of the fabric of the community. Adding to the property's value, two beautifully renovated apartments on the second and third floors were completely remodeled in 2020 with exceptional attention to detail. Currently operating as a long-term rental and a successful Airbnb, these units provide valuable supplemental income while enhancing the property's investment appeal. This is a true turnkey operation, offering the rare chance to own an iconic Kentucky restaurant with multiple income streams, significant seating capacity, and an unmatched legacy. Continue a tradition that has thrived for more than 130 years while writing the next chapter in the story of one of downtown Cynthiana's most treasured destinations.
