Conveniently located at the Bridge St exit of the route 95 expressway and only 10 minutes away from downtown Philly, this 15, 213 sq.ft. commercial property is one of the Philadelphia's most luxurious restaurant / bars. The Chateau was a long standing business, which started 57 years ago and has been a family run organization since. Throughout the middle of the 19th century, the building served as the Erie social club- bringing acts such as The Rat Pack and Tony Bennet to Philadelphia audiences. It then became Cozy Morely's Erie Social before becoming the Chateau as people have known it over the years. Its new owners have upgraded the building and coined it 'The Billionaire Club'. There are two ballrooms / dining rooms, each elegantly draped and complete with a dining area, a buffet area, and dance floor.

The dining hall boasts some of the city's most unique furniture and wall art - all custom designed by the current owner. The DJ booth and dance floor provide for an evening cocktail lounge / dance club setting. There is access to a service area here as well for staff to communicate with the kitchen and a bus area for dishware. In this area you will also find the centrally located and beautifully designed bathrooms. Behind the service area is a full commercially equipped kitchen with staff access to both the dining area and ballroom. Continuing through the cocktail lounge, you will find the ballroom with stage. The ballroom is in the process of renovation including imported, European white tile floors (large slab), raising the ceiling, and 3 new Commercial HVAC units. Behind the main stage is the entertainment equipment control room. There is also a large storage room here for laundry, dry storage, and liquor. The second entrance off the small side parking lot at the corner of Bridge and Tulip leads to the business offices to the right. Above the office area, there is a staircase leading to a 1 bedroom/1 bath living area complete with living room/kitchen area and an office.
