A death-themed New Jersey bar is on the market, right in time for spooky season.
The Old Canal Inn in Nutley on E. Passaic Avenue is listed at $2.195 million by Frank Conturso of Keller William Commercial.
The bar is Nutley's oldest, and might be known for its infamous death seat: Legend has it that one patron died of a hearth attack while fighting over a seat inside in the 1960s. His rival died less than 10 days later, also of a heart attack, according to Only In Your State.
The website says that the bar is bustling regularly, and specializes in classic brews and even boasts an old-fashioned tap on the wall. It even had the "Death Seat Burger," battered, deep-fried and served with French fries.
According to the listing, the thriving Old Canal Inn comes with four residential apartments and the total patron capacity is 187, including the 75-seat dining room.
"An extensive craft beer list flows through the 30 taps, with a strong customer base which enjoys the outdoor patio, live entertainment, catering, private parties and the in-house regulation shuffleboard table as well as the 22 large screen TVs," it says.
A total renovation to the kitchen and restaurant was completed in 2015.
Oh yes, it comes with a liquor license.
