An iconic Sydney bar and microbrewery on King Street Wharf has been listed for lease transfer.

King Street Brewhouse, formerly known as James Squire Brewhouse, has been listed for lease transfer six years after the current owner leased the premises.

He says there has been international interest in the property ranging from restaurants, liquor retailers, local publicans, property investors and everything in between. Given the current interest in the sale he says it is hard to gauge a  price.

According to the information memorandum for the property strong historical tenancy demand in the area has average rents at between $1,500 to $2,000 gross per square metre in comparable premises.

Graeme Thompson, the vendor, has been running the pub independently of James Squire who abruptly left the business in 2010, taking its brewing license with it.

The 24-hour pub operates as a restaurant, bar and microbrewery. In the year ending December 2012 it made $3.6 million in profit, down from $4.3 million the year before.
