Popular Restaurant At The Waterfront In Bankruptcy

HOMESTEAD, PA - Rock Bottom at The Waterfront has been closed since March 18 and its website says that's due to the coronavirus outbreak. But questions remain as to whether the popular restaurant will reopen when the outbreak ends.

CraftWorks, the company that owns Rock Bottom and several other restaurant chains across the country, filed for bankruptcy last month. On March 31, CraftWorks fired all of its 18,000 employees nationwide and terminated their health benefits, Westword reported.

While CraftWorks CEO Marc Buehler wrote in a letter to workers that the company hoped to bring many of them back,"Effective March 31, the status of all team members will be revised from furloughed to terminated."

Rock Bottom Pittsburgh's Facebook page still says the restaurant is "temporarily closed."
