The Den—Iconic Downtown Property with Turn-Key Business & Living Space

Description

Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of Clarksdale history— The Den.

Built in 1918, The Den is a landmark property that blends timeless charm with modern amenities, offering a one-of-a-kind, turn-key experience. This fully furnished, two-story commercial building is centrally located in the heart of downtown and rich with character that simply can’t be replicated.

Step inside to find a spacious dining area, a full-service bar, and thoughtfully integrated sleeping quarters—making The Den a rare commercial treasure. The first floor showcases the original dining booths, vintage seating, light fixtures, and the iconic bar and barstools just beyond the stage. New hardwood flooring surrounds the stage area, while original memorabilia and curated décor line the walls, creating an ambiance that tells a story and offers a unique, irreplaceable collection for its next owners.

Adding to its versatility, the property features a carefully designed residential layout. The first floor includes a private guest bedroom and full bath—currently operating as an Airbnb—perfect for visiting travelers. You’ll also find separate men’s and women’s restrooms for customer use. Upstairs, you’ll discover a beautifully renovated master suite that includes a full bathroom. With its size and layout, it could easily be converted into two bedrooms, providing flexible options for owner use or short-term rental.

In 2023, the current owners upgraded the property with a commercial-grade kitchen, allowing The Den to serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The kitchen is equipped with two refrigerators, a vented fryer, prep table, grill, oven, and warmers. Additional upgrades include wall insulation and a mini split unit for efficient heating and cooling. Out back, there’s a covered patio and rear entrance with a large storage area. The front of the building features expansive display windows, original lighting, and signage that add even more charm to the downtown streetscape. The current owners also obtained a "Resort Status" that transfers with the property. 

Located in the heart of downtown Clarksdale, The Den is just steps away from Clarksdale's most popular blues venues, restaurants, and the main stage. With a history of entertaining both locals and blues travelers alike, The Den is a rare find with built-in potential that is ready to continue its legacy for years to come.
