119 & 121 S 2ND STREETOAKLAND, MD 21550




Here is an incredible opportunity to own a “bullseye” historic building, land and iconic outdoor fireplace that once housed the popular Sipside Lounge on 2nd Street in downtown Oakland! The possibilities of the property are endless, offering two great commercial spaces which are currently connected inside via a glass doorway. The other side currently houses an operating business - Flipside Sounds (vinyl record store since 2018). Flipside is amenable to tenant: landlord lease arrangement or vacating the premises depending on the wishes of the new owner. The former Sipside space is currently furnished with indoor and outdoor furniture such as tables, chairs, barstools, and lounge couches. Bar/restaurant hardware such as two refrigerators, icemaker, stainless steel sinks, requisite glassware and other barkeep items are also available in good working order. The property is just oozing with history; the foundation was built in 1877 and the building itself is circa 1909. The property was gutted and remodeled in 2018/ ‘19 to create an “upscale- hipster” interior. Unique details were incorporated into the rehab project, including two antique stained-glass windows, stage lighting, acoustic ceiling tile, two point-out storefront displays, custom wormy oak hand-built bar, climate-controlled wine storage loft, an indoor-outdoor performing arts sound system and a Bowers & Wilson Zeppelin sound system. Additionally, new flooring, bathrooms, ADA ramps, paint, electric, panel/breaker box, piping and four air conditioning units were also added. The upper level of the building offers 1900 square feet of potential (currently being used as storage) that could be converted to office space or a great studio apartment. If all this isn't enough, take a walk outside to the newly finished outdoor area; it will take your breath away! With approximately 2,600 square feet of covered and uncovered seating options, the hardest choice you need to make is where to sit. Perhaps you will prefer the handmade metal tables & chairs from India, or the cushioned lounge seating arrangement by the train tracks. And one of the neatest features and biggest draws to Sipside's open-air space is the massive stone woodburning fireplace from 1938 featuring the Oakland B&O Railroad as the backdrop. So many options here! Seating capacity is 42 inside and over 100 outside.
