Brewerytown

Brewerytown is one of several unofficial regions in the City of Philadelphia. Located in North Central Philadelphia in runs approximately between the Schuylkill River’s eastern bank and 25th Street, bounded by Cecil B. Moore Avenue to the north and Parrish Street to the south. The area got its name f rom the numerous breweries that were along the Schuylkill during the late 19th century and early 20th century. It’s a mainly residential area now with a business district that is expanding along Girard Avenue.   Brewerytown is a neighborhood in Philadelphia that is rich in history and character. Once a thriving hub for brewing beer, the area fell into decline in the early 20th century as breweries began to move out of the city. However, Brewerytown over the last few years is undergoing a revival, thanks to t he repurposing of old industrial buildings into new homes and businesses. The area is home to a number of historic row homes, as well as the Brewerytown Garden, a community space that is open to the public. Brewerytown is also home to Girard Avenue, one of Philadelphia’s main thoroughfares. Thanks to its mix of old and new, Brewerytown is a unique and vibrant community that is worth exploring.
