New Allentown restaurant gets liquor license transfer

ALLENTOWN, Pa. -

Plans for a new center city restaurant were shared with Allentown City Council Wednesday night, which helped the project along by unanimously approving an inter-municipal liquor license transfer for it.

The unnamed establishment will be at 612 Hamilton St., which is known as the Schoens building.

It was described as an upscale, American bistro restaurant ---American cuisine with some European inspirations by Atty. Theodore Zeller, who represented the owners before City Council.

But he also said it will not have that type of polish as the Cosmopolitan restaurant in center city or Melt in Upper Saucon Townships Promenade shopping complex.

Zeller said its going to be a place where a suit like me is going to be very comfortable or a guy wearing a Phantoms jersey also is going to be comfortable.

He promised the restaurant will be family friendly and one of the most attractive restaurant spaces we have downtown.

The owners were identified as Brown Brothers Restaurant Group, LLC, of Allentown.

Jeff Brown, co-owner of the business, told council: Were excited to be a part of the downtown revitalization. The restaurants an important part of this puzzle. Were looking forward to moving forward.

Brown told council he would love for the restaurant could be completed by Sept.1, but were not rushing it. Its more important that we get everything right.
