General Lafayette Inn, closed since September 2010, will soon return under the name of Barren Hill. Foobooz reports that the owners of South Philly’s Devil’s Den and Manayunk’s Old Eagle Tavern are behind the revival of this historic spot.
Plans are underway to bring back the bar and restaurant; thirsty patrons can expect at least 6 Barren Hill microbrews on tap out of the 30 taps going in. Beers brewed at Barren Hill will also be sold at Devil’s Den and the Old Eagle Tavern. Devil’s Den Chef Paul Trowbridge will head to the kitchen. Look for a mid- to late summer opening!
