The interior of Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant reflects recent incarnations of the concept featuring floor-to-ceiling windows to usher in natural light and transmit the vibrancy of the downtown neighborhood. Design elements highlight the open kitchen and glass walled-brewery prominently positioned near the bar, which overlooks the patio. The walls are swathed in warm yellow, gold and rust hues contrasted by pop art mural depicting iconic Iron Hill and craft beer imagery. Sleek industrial vaulted ceilings covered in copper-toned corrugated metal are offset by large black circular chandeliers gently lighting the dining room and bar areas. Located in the middle of the restaurant, a large garage door separates the bar from the patio and can be lifted during warmer weather for inclusive indoor/outdoor seating.

In addition to their brand-wide donation to CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, and as part of Iron Hill’s philanthropy and commitment to the communities they serve, the brewery and restaurant in Hershey will be collaborating with Cocoa Packs to donate $0.75 from each Triple Chocolate Hill dessert sold in order to help fund the organization’s mission to distribute supplemental food during weekends, holidays and summers to students who benefit from school meal programs.
“This has been an incredible year for Iron Hill, and we’re truly humbled and excited to end it with yet another location in Pennsylvania,” says Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder Kevin Finn. “We love what we do every single day and hope it shines through in all of the vibrant communities we serve – Hershey being the newest on our growing list. We look forward to expanding the dining and gathering opportunities for both local residents and to the millions of visitors who travel to this region.”
