Shuttered Brewpub Chain To Revive With Philly Restaurant Opening Soon: Reports

PHILADELPHIA — Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is returning to Center City soon, according to reports.

The regional restaurant chain abruptly closed all locations in September and filed for bankruptcy. But a new ownership group is bringing some of them back, starting with the Center City restaurant, according to Philadelphia Business Journal.

That location (1150 Market St., near 12th Street) is expected to open around mid-April.

Other shuttered locations are expected to be revived this summer in Huntington Valley, Hershey, Lancaster and Wilmington, Delaware.

The new ownership group acquired Iron Hill's intellectual property and the five restaurant leases during bankruptcy proceedings, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Iron Hill's other locations were sold off.

Founded in Delaware, Iron Hill Brewery expanded to about 20 locations — mostly in the Mid-Atlantic, plus two in South Carolina and one in Georgia.

In September, three restaurants abruptly closed, including one in Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill neighborhood and Iron Hill's flagship location in Newark, Delaware.

All remaining locations abruptly closed two weeks later.
