Brewerytown Food Hall will feature 7 different restaurants in 1 spot
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Brewerytown Food Hall, a massive food and drink hall, is holding its grand opening Thursday night.
The space alone is nearly 9,000 square feet. It's one of the first of its kind in the area, and it features seven different restaurants all under one roof.
"When we found the space, there was a lot of infrastructure already because it had been a previous restaurant, so it was really appealing to us," Derek Gibbons, co-owner of Brewerytown Food Hall, said. "Being that Brewerytown is a bit of a food desert, we wanted to bring multiple different cuisines into the neighborhood and kind of create this gathering space for the community because there's really not much here right now."
Gibbons says the food hall will also have seasonal selections too.
Live music will also be in the food hall's plans, Gibbons says.
"I think the neighborhood just really needs it," Gibbons said. "We want to create this gathering space, make it family-friendly, make it able for people to have private events, birthday, celebrations, watch sporting events. We have a lounge downstairs that's going to have games, arcades, so it's really exciting."
The Brewerytown Food Hall will open at 4 p.m. Thursday.
For now, it will only be open for dinner but Gibbons says they plan to open for brunch soon.
