In a bid to revitalise Tedder Avenue on the Gold Coast, a mystery Main Beach businessman has paid $500,000 on a bar fit-out as a deal sweetener for an experienced hospitality guru. He is now waiting for the right person to swoop in and make it their own.

The project, which would be the first licensed small bar in Main Beach, is in a small second storey site facing the intersection of Tedder Ave and Peak Ave, with open seating that faces picturesque trees and fairy lights.

The interior includes geometric artwork from Emma Hack, the artist involved in Gotye’s iconic ‘Somebody I Used To Know’ film clip and there is capability to extend to a rooftop outdoor venue.

Speaking on behalf of the businessman, Chanel Heeren from VO Group said he is a long term Main Beach local who wants to bring the strip back to life.

“Ideally his ultimate goal is to find somebody as a joint venture/owner operator who has extensive experience in hospitality and cocktail bar management,” she said. “In terms of the operators, they can come in as an employee and run the whole business, or a partner in a joint venture or for the premises to be leased.”

The venue has been designed as a destination bar for a night out and an up-market venue for work drinks or private events. While there is a newly fitted kitchen, the focus would be “world class’’ drinks.

“The bar extends the full length of the premises and would suit celebrity artisan mixologists from around the world,” said Ms Heeren.

“This really is an amazing opportunity for anyone who has always wanted to own a bar but maybe isn’t in the financial position to do so, and it’s with a genuine person whose heart is in the right place.”
