Steel City Coffeehouse Closes In Phoenixville

PHOENIXVILLE, PA -- An iconic Phoenixville coffee shop and music venue is closing its doors.

Steel City Coffeehouse, located at Bridge Street and Main Street in the heart of Phoenixville, will shut down.

The local business posted a note on their Facebook page on May 21 stating that the following day would be a "final jam session."

The Pottstown Mercury first reported that Steel City was up for sale on Craigslist.

The asking price: one dollar. The ad reads:

Steel City Cafe / Music Venue has been a main focal point of Phoenixville PA for 20 years.

Think of it as many businesses in one... by day it is the best Coffeehouse / Cafe in town serving incredible coffee drinks and food from our own kitchen.... at night it transforms into a premier Listening Room Music Venue featuring the original music of both regional and national artists.

During the evening shows food is served from our kitchen as well as BYOB. Recently we have obtained the ability to have Crossing Vineyards of Bucks County PA offer wine for sale durning shows and all operating hours. They have our one and only Piano Wine Bar in the area

This is truly a unique business that needs and requires a very "hands on" owner's touch! This is NOT an absentee owner business.

Owner Financing available to the right buyer. Also a lease option to buy is available. Little upfront cash needed for an experienced buyer with the drive and passion to continue the Steel City mission.

Steel City was widely recognized as one of the best venues for local musicians in the area. Routine shows featured up and coming artists multiple nights a week.

They recently hosted a fundraising concert event to raise money to help restore the Phoenixville mural, which is attached to the side wall of their building.
