Get Directions
Located in North Philly, Brewerytown is a historic in-town neighborhood undergoing a modern transformation. Brewerytown was originally named for the more than 20 breweries that operated in the neighborhood during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, Brewerytown contains an array of craft breweries and brewpubs in addition to a slew of eclectic eateries, boutique shops, markets, and longstanding businesses on Girard Avenue, the commercial heart of the neighborhood.
Brewerytown’s revitalization has inspired many renovated lofts and luxury apartments available for rent in historic, red-brick buildings. The neighborhood’s accessibility makes it a top choice for many residents, including walkable access to the commercial core as well as the historic streetcar line, which connects Brewerytown to nearby Fishtown.
