Steakhouse Gets Liquor License Transfer For Newtown Location

NEWTOWN, PA — A steakhouse has received approval to transfer a liquor license for a Newtown location.

The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors on Wednesday approved the liquor license transfer for Steak Bar by Shula's, which is planning to open in the Village at Newtown shopping center.

According to township officials, the exact location where they'll operate in the renovated shopping center is not yet known, but it is believed they'll be in a new section that will be erected in place of the Bank of America. The current Bank of America building is slated for demolition.

The liquor license is being transferred from the Warrington Bertucci's, which closed earlier this year after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Steak Bar by Shula's will still need conditional use approval, Newtown Township Manager Micah Lewis said. No application has been submitted yet.

Company representatives for the steakhouse have not yet returned a request seeking information on their local plans. According to the chain's website, Shula's operates numerous restaurants across the country, including in Florida, Ohio, Arizona and beyond.
