A Florida-based restaurant-and-craft-beer chain will open its first North Carolina location this year on Hillsborough Street in downtown Raleigh.
The Brass Tap Craft Beer Bar , which started in a Tampa suburb in 2008, will open in 400H , a new building at 400 Hillsborough Street , in an area just west of the State Capitol Building where other bars and eateries have opened in the past several years.
The franchise is being launched by Roshan Baral and Niraj Bidari, who signed a 10-year lease on the building with York Properties earlier this month, according to a press release issued Friday.
“The Brass Tap model is grounded in providing a premium beer experience at the neighborhood level,” Vijay K. Shah, senior vice president of retail service for Raleigh’s TradeMark Properties said in the release. “Roshan and Niraj knew that they wanted a location with a variety of businesses around it as well as the feeling of a close community.”
