House of Caesar, a restaurant on Liverpool's Bold Street, has been placed on the market with a leasehold price of £350,000, its owners have confirmed. The venue, which opened in November 2025, is listed on Rightbiz, with the listing noting that approximately £600,000 was invested in a comprehensive refurbishment, creating a restaurant, cocktail bar, and late-night venue. Monthly rent on Bold Street can reach as high as £5,000, according to the same website.
Owners explain the sale
Mohamad Abbar, from Bootle, and interior designer Daniel Ball, who also owns Delta Bravo Designs, opened the venue in November 2025. The restaurant occupies an old Midland Bank building built in the 1800s, taking over from the former Maracana Sport Bar. The ground floor and basement cover 3,000 square feet in addition to the mezzanine, with seating for around 150 covers.
Daniel, 41, told the ECHO: "As proud custodians of such a much-loved Liverpool building, our intention is to find a new owner and operator who can build on what has been created and take House of Caesar forward. We have decided to place the business on the market, as was always envisaged following the substantial investment and redevelopment of both the building and the business itself."
Restoration and capacity increase
He added: "As part of the redevelopment, we have restored many of the building’s original features and increased its capacity threefold, transforming the space while retaining the character and heritage that make House of Caesar so special. For us, this is an exciting opportunity to move on to our next challenge, while leaving behind a building and business that we are genuinely very proud of."
Daniel confirmed both he and Mohamad would step back from their ownership positions when, or if, a sale goes through. When the venue opened, it was said to be bringing an "authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavour" to the city's food scene.
Listing ahead of first birthday
The listing comes three months before the restaurant’s first birthday. Prior to opening, the venue experienced a series of delays and unexpected costs. When asked about the reason for delays last year, Daniel said: "We’ve built a whole new mezzanine and a whole new second floor, that's what has taken us so long. We’ve installed a new kitchen and a new bar, so it can fit around 300 people in it. Being honest with you, the renovation price has now gone up to around £600,000, but it was worth it."
