Description
The LaMar | Historic Main Street Entertainment Venue
Located at 219 South Main Street in the Central Business District of Lamar, Colorado, The LaMar presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic Main Street entertainment property with modern event, bar, performance, and streaming capabilities.
Originally opened in 1946 and remodeled in 2024, this Art Deco landmark blends restored theater character with modern venue systems, including commercial projection, updated performance infrastructure, and a new furnace supporting year-round operations.
The property fronts Main Street, also serving as U.S. Highway 287, offering strong visibility in Lamar’s downtown commercial corridor. The approximately 10,000-square-foot footprint is designed as a flexible, multi-use venue with seating capacity for 536. The layout includes general admission seating, a dance floor/event area, clear stage views, and functionality for performances, screenings, receptions, weddings, celebrations, sports-bar entertainment, and community programming.
- Defined ticketing, entry, and guest circulation areas with separate access flow to general admission and VIP spaces
- Elevated VIP loft seating with clear views over the main venue floor, dedicated VIP bar service, projection system, and stage-lighting access
- Two full-service general admission bar locations designed to support high-volume event service and guest flow
- Full performance stage with lighting, sound equipment, backstage electrical, and technical support infrastructure
- Main commercial projection system for movies, streaming entertainment, presentations, and special programming
- Private VIP green room, supporting hallway/circulation space, and separate restroom facilities for general admission and VIP areas
- Additional office/support space for venue management, event coordination, administration, or storage

The offering includes the building, business, fixtures, furniture, and inventory at an asking price of $2,300,000, creating a turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator, investor, or hospitality group seeking a signature venue in Southeast Colorado. A new liquor license would need to be applied for by the buyer, and financials can be made available to serious, qualified potential buyers.
