Englewood Brewing’s social media announcement that they will be temporarily pausing their restaurant operations.
Englewood Hershey Pauses Restaurant Operations for a Refresh: Reopens in 2025 with New Look and Menu
Englewood Hershey, the popular restaurant and music venue in Derry Township, has announced a temporary closure starting today. Located at 1219 West End Ave. in Hershey’s “vibrant” West End, the venue is pausing its restaurant services to undergo significant changes aimed at enhancing its dining experience.
Why Englewood Hershey is Closing: A Strategic Hiatus
Co-owner Rick Russell shared that this temporary closure is a strategic decision to “evolve” the restaurant into something more in line with their original vision. “Restaurants go through evolutionary periods, and we are experiencing that right now,” Russell explained. “We’re fortunate enough to be able to pause operations and make these changes.”
The plan is to keep the restaurant closed through the start of 2025, but the venue will remain open for private events, live concerts, and comedy nights during the interim. Brewing operations will also continue without interruption, ensuring that Englewood Hershey’s craft beers will still be available to guests.
A Reboot for Englewood Hershey: What Changes Are Coming?
Englewood Hershey originally opened its doors in 2020, housed in a historic barn, as part of a multimillion-dollar project. The establishment quickly became a staple in the Hershey area for its combination of great food, craft beer, and live music. But, according to Russell, the experience has drifted towards a more casual atmosphere than initially intended.
Russell and business partner Jeff Sharp, who operate under Loto Station, LLC, are committed to refining Englewood’s identity. The reboot will include changes to the dining room, a refreshed menu, and an overall more upscale vibe.
Russell emphasized that these updates are necessary to keep Englewood relevant in the fast-paced restaurant industry. “It’s a reboot, and I think it’s part of the evolutionary change of restaurants,” he said. “We want to make it stronger and more customer-focused.”
Englewood Hershey’s Brewing Continues – And So Does Roasting
Though the restaurant is on hiatus, guests can still visit Englewood Roasting Company. This establishment, located at the former Cocoa Beanery on the same property, will remain open with extended hours and an expanded lunch menu during the restaurant’s closure.
Englewood Hershey has had to close twice in the past due to water damage. In late December 2022, a cold snap caused pipes to burst, forcing a seven-week closure. A year prior, a faulty sprinkler system also flooded parts of the venue, resulting in a temporary shutdown. Despite these setbacks, Russell and his team remain committed to ensuring the long-term success of the venue.
