Lizotte’s, one of Australia most loved and most frequented music establishments, is up for sale.
Brian and Jo Lizotte have decided to put their three New South Wales restaurant/venues in Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast up for sale after 25 years.
“This is something that I am very proud of as the nurturing of up and coming talent is the future for the music industry and I hope to be able to find a passionate new owner to keep this legacy alive”, Brain said.
The restaurant and venues have featured many of Australia and the world’s greatest musicians including Mick Fleetwood, Jimmy Barnes, Daryl Braithwaite, Steve Earle, Jon Stevens, Richard Clapton, Katie Noonan and Kasey Chambers as well as Brian’s brother Mark Lizotte (aka Diesel).
“It was one of the hardest decisions that Jo and I have had to make and we’ve pondered over it for quite some time,” said Brian.
Brian and Jo came to the decision after taking their first holiday in 10 years last year. “We both feel very blessed to have been able to have such an amazing team of staff supporting us over the years as well as brilliant local and international Artists perform and eat at our venues and being able to release two music CD compilations a Lizotte’s Cookbook, four live music long form releases by Beccy Cole, Glenn Cardier, The Brewster Bros and the forthcoming Diesel “live n cookin’ at Lizottes” album, we’ve accomplished many of our dreams. We have built up an incredible brand name with a data-base of over 60,000 plus loyal customers and will be looking for new owners who will build on this and ensure this dynamic and very special business continues into the future for these local communities and the Australian music industry as a whole,” he said.
Business will continue as usual during the sale period.
