A new brewery and restaurant is almost ready to launch in a growing Columbia district.

Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, a company headquartered in Pennsylvania that has locations across the U.S., will open a new 7,500-square-foot facility at 945 Sabal St. in Columbia’s BullStreet District at 11 a.m. Thursday, June 22. This will be the 21st Iron Hill location nationwide.

“We are thrilled to open our newest location in the heart of downtown Columbia and become an integral part of the area,” Iron Hill CEO Chris Westcott said in a Thursday statement. “We chose the Midlands as our second South Carolina location for many reasons — of which is the city’s welcoming, yet vibrant, community and appreciation for quality craft beer and handcrafted food.

“Once we saw the development plans for the BullStreet District, we knew this was the right spot to open our newest Iron Hill location.”

The other South Carolina Iron Hill location is in Greenville.

Iron Hill was founded in 1996. The Columbia location will have inside and outside seating for more than 400 people. There is a large, sweeping patio that faces out toward Bull Street, with big bay windows that open up to a bar where bartenders will be able to serve customers both outside on the patio and inside the restaurant.

Iron Hill will brew a number of its own house brand beers on-site. Some of its top sellers include the Philly Phavorite IPA, Pig Iron Porter, Orange Creamsicle and Iron Hill Light Lager.

The restaurant also will have a full food menu that will include, according to a release, “appetizers and soups, burgers and sandwiches, hearth-baked pizzas, salads, entrees, and several items inspired by Iron Hill’s award-winning beers – including the Grilled Brewben Sandwich with Vienna Red Lager bacon sauerkraut, and the VooDoo Chicken Pizza with Vienna Red Lager BBQ sauce.”

Once open, Iron Hill’s hours will be 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays.

“We are thrilled to welcome Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant to the BullStreet District,” Robert Hughes, president of BullStreet master developer Hughes Development, said in a statement. “Their presence not only adds to the thriving food scene in Columbia but also represents a significant win for everyone in and around BullStreet.”
