AERO Ale House in Loves Park under new ownership

A Loves Park bar and restaurant has new owners.

Local business consultant Jen Hall and real estate broker Nathan Bryant announced on Nov. 26 that they have purchased AERO Ale House, 6144 E. Riverside Blvd.

“We look forward to continuing to provide the same wonderful food and service for our customers," the business posted on Facebook.

According to the post, Hall, who most recently served as president and CEO of the Greater Beloit Economic Development Corporation, will focus on running the restaurant while Bryant plans to focus on his role at Bryant Commercial Group.

In addition to her position with the Greater Beloit Economic Development Corporation, Hall owned Catalyst Business Solutions, which did contract work for Winnebago County, and worked in government relations for Mercyhealth.

Bryant is the former president and CEO of the Rockford Area Economic Development Council.

AERO Ale House was opened in 2014 by Matt and Jamie Pendergrass, who also own The Cave in Byron.

The AERO food menu includes nachos, tacos, potstickers and patty melts.

The bar features a full selection of beer, fine wine and signature cocktails. Hours are 11 a.m. to midnight, daily.
