The proprietors of the Iron Horse Bar & Grill in Beech Island are looking for somebody to take over their business.
The restaurant is listed on restaurants-for-sale.com. The asking price is $695,000.
Last month, owners Brian Minty and Deborah Schier announced they were putting the Iron Horse on the market in a post on the eatery’s Facebook page.
“Until we sell, we are not going anywhere,” the message stated. “The Iron Horse will be up and running as usual for business, so please do not panic. We just want to retire. We both are getting too old.”
In addition, it says, the Iron Horse’s dining room, restrooms and patio have been renovated recently, and the restaurant also has new air conditioners, a new roof and two updated kitchens.
Also on the property is a new office building.
Established in 2006, the Iron Horse is at 2510 Storm Branch Rd.
The restaurant operates as a private club. According to Iron Horse’s Facebook page and ironhorsebarandgrill.net, membership fees are $20 a year for singles and $30 for couples. A day pass that costs $1 per person is available on weekdays.
On the menu are hamburgers, veggie burgers, turkey burgers, submarine sandwiches and salads. In addition, the Iron Horse serves meals that feature seafood such as shrimp and scallops, risotto and rib-eye steak.
Based on information found on Aiken County land records, the Iron Horse stands on a 1.24-acre parcel that Schier purchased for $160,000 from Farel Baughman and Yvonne Baughman 12 years ago.
Minty and Schier couldn’t be reached for comment.
