costs of opening a brew pub?

[HomebrewPadawan]

If this helps anyone...
My partners and I are fortunate, and lucky, and grateful, to be the owners of 4 successful restaurants/pizzerias.
It usually costs us around $150-200k to build-out the restaurant from a blank box. This does not include purchasing the building, or land, it's simply the cost to construct the inside of the building and furnish it with equipment and décor.
The 4 locations are all between 1500-2200 square feet; for a generic estimation, half of the square footage is kitchen and the other half is dining area.

I do not know how much it costs for the brewery side, but am thinking of finding out. My partners and I have dreamed about doing a brewpub for about four years now and are in the process of reading up on it and possibly giving it a shot.

We shall see...a lot more research still needs to be done on our end.

Cheers!

It, of course, depends on what you pay for rent, utilities, the size of the place, the brewery capacity and so on but figure a couple mil.
