Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant announced today that it will be the newest tenant in Center City Philadelphia’s East Market project.

Iron Hill, which calls itself the Mid-Atlantic region’s fastest growing brew pub, has leased an 8,450-square-foot space that is scheduled to open in spring 2018. The chain is known for brewing its own beer at each of its locations. Its beers have won more than 40 medals at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival. 

The 1150 Market Street location will put Iron Hill in the shadows of iconic Philly hot spots like the Pennsylvania Convention Center and Reading Terminal Market.

Iron Hill Brewery President Kevin Finn, who founded the restaurant with Mark Edelson and Kevin Davies in 1996, said in a statement he and his partners have wanted to be a part of Center City’s “exciting and diverse restaurant scene” for a long time.

“There has been tremendous population growth as places like East Market draw new residents to Center City,” the statement read. “We take great pride in embracing the communities we serve, and that is especially true in Philadelphia.”

East Market is located from Market to Chestnut streets, between 11th and 12th streets in Philadelphia. The pedestrian mall features dining, shopping, contemporary work and living spaces.

Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant currently has 12 locations, including two in New Jersey, in Maple Shade and Voorhees. The other locations are in Delaware and and Pennsylvania.
