Description
Located in the bustling heart of Epsom, this vibrant late-night venue offers a fantastic opportunity for an experienced operator to take over a stylish, high-energy bar space and make it their own. Formerly trading as Be At One, the site boasts a sleek, modern interior with a well-equipped bar, comfortable booth seating, and an atmospheric design that’s perfect for cocktail-led, entertainment-focused trade.
The ground floor offers an open-plan trading area ideal for socialising, after-work drinks, or weekend celebrations, while the basement bar provides a more intimate space that’s frequently used for private hires and events. Together, the two levels create flexibility for different customer experiences — from early evening catch-ups to late-night dancing.
With its late licence, excellent layout, and prime location in Derby Square, this is a venue built for energy, atmosphere, and memorable nights out. Whether reimagined as a contemporary cocktail bar, live music venue, or hybrid late-night concept, this is a site with serious potential in one of Surrey’s busiest market towns.
