Sextro Steak and Rye

Sextro Steak Distillery - Denver  

 We have found a great building and we have a concept that we believe fills a great need in the marketplace, a hip moderately-priced steak house with a great bar. 

We have secured a fantastic property in the historic Sunnyside neighborhood of Denver, just above the bustling Highland and Rhino neighborhoods and just fifteen minutes from Union Station, The Ball Arena, and Empower Field.

The Building is perfectly suited for our needs as it is a full-service recently remodeled restaurant and will require minimal cosmetic renovations and limited new kitchen equipment for our concept. The concept, Sextro Steak & Rye will be the only Chef-driven casual steak concept & working distillery in the state and we expect both the bar and restaurant to exceed expectations in the marketplace (A business plan with a detailed proforma is available upon request ).

Christian Margesson, who I worked with at N9ne Group in Las Vegas for almost a decade as our Sommelier and Beverage Manager is currently a sales and marketing consultant for several spirit brands and a wine consultant for private clubs, restaurants, and collectors. 

Heath Schneider is the owner of Sextro Rye Distillery and grandson of its founder Lorine.   The Sextro recipe(the only chemical-free whiskey recipe on the market) was founded in 1932 by Lorine during prohibition to feed her family. Currently, Sextro Rye is a 3,000-case production of premium rye whiskey with over 320 placements in Colorado. We expect our on-premise micro-distillery to boost sales dramatically and provide our guests with the most unique “fresh” whiskey experience anywhere!

Our investment includes the purchase of real estate which cannot be undervalued in today’s volatile marketplace. We are offering our investors 100% ownership of the property. They will receive a 5% rent factor towards the principal amount of $2.7M and a 6% preferred return towards the interest. The lease will be NNN, freeing the investors from any financial responsibilities for the upkeep of the property. 

In addition to our initial Denver location, we have identified additional opportunities in the Texas Hill Country, just outside of Austin and San Antonio. Texas Hill Country is home to more than 170 wineries, distilleries, and breweries stretching from the East entrance in Johnson City to the center in Fredericksburg. We hope to secure a location there in 2025.

Our Denver investors will have the right of first refusal for the Texas opportunity as well as every additional outlet of Sextro Steak & Rye Distillery.

Lastly, Heath intends to sell up to 30 percent of Sextro distillery in the next 12-18 months to finance expansion into additional markets. This investment opportunity will also be offered to our Denver investors first. 
Please review the concept and financials within the deck and let me know if you and your friends have an interest in jumping on a call so that I can answer any questions you may have about the subscription offering and structure of our management company.
