For Sale: The Paradise Building in downtown Lake Worth Beach, home to Bamboo Room, Rudy's Pub
THE PARADISE BUILDING, home to two popular downtown Lake Worth Beach music venues, is for sale.The historic 1923 building at 17 S. J St., home to the Bamboo Room and Rudy’s Pub, went on the market Sept. 5 as “a new commercial listing,’’ according to the Facebook page of Simon Isaacs Real Estate, a Palm Beach broker.
Asking price: $2,975,000.
But the building’s owner, Gary Goldring, said the listing doesn’t necessarily mean he’s going to actually sell. (Is he just screwing around wasting people's time?)
“We are seeing what the market looks like, which when you're in the real estate business is an OK thing to do from time to time,’’ Goldring said in an interview.
“We are listing it for sale just to kind of see what the market is and we’ll see what happens,’’ he said. (There's a sucker born every minute who might find this to be a wonderful buy!)
Goldring, a former Wall Street executive and a current part-owner of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team, bought the 8,142-square-foot building in 2019 for $1.3 million. He invested in upgrades and renovations.
