On August 29 and August 30, Glenside Ale House opened for friends and family serving food and tasty spirits which the guests seemed to enjoy. Glenside Local was there on Wednesday along with Cheltenham Township staff and local officials including Bryan Havir, Township Manager, and Commissioner Drew Sharkey (Ward 1).
“It was a fantastic experience working with Scott Rudich, Brian Derbyshire and their amazing team over the past year to open up the Glenside Ale House, said Commissioner Drew Sharkey. It took a bit a hard work on everyone’s part, but the many months paid off.”
Commissioner Sharkey continued, “I know Brian who also owns the building, and he had trepidation about opening another restaurant at that location, after so many had tried unsuccessfully. After multiple discussions, he became comfortable with the idea that a brew pub would be a perfect fit. Great food and beer, two things we love in Glenside. Anytime we can open a new business in Cheltenham, it is a great day.”
Glenside Ale House opens to the general pubic tomorrow, Thursday, September 6. To make a reservation call 267-636-5613.
Glenside Ale House will be open seven days a week from 11 am to midnight beginning September 7.
