IronRock Tap House in Hempfield closes; Atria's in Murrysville to shutter; Rick's Sports Bar for sale

After nearly six years in business, IronRock Tap House in Hempfield has closed its doors.

Greg and Christina Cammerata opened the restaurant in late November 2019. The owners told TribLive shortly before IronRock’s opening that it was a prime location for their business venture, positioned next to Route 30 and Westmoreland Mall.

The closing is among a series of changes in recent weeks impacting restaurants in the region.

IronRock’s website and Facebook page are no longer active. Greg Cammerata could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

A sign on the front door confirms the closure.

“Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have decided to close IronRock Tap House,” the sign reads. “We would like to thank our loyal staff and community for their support.”

A message on the restaurant’s phone system thanks callers for their six years of support.

It is unclear exactly what date IronRock closed. Restaurant staff told TribLive on Sunday the business was still open.

The property is owned by Cammerata Group LLC, according to the Westmoreland County tax map. It is listed for sale through North Huntingdon-based The Colony Agency. The asking price is being withheld.

It is among several notable restaurant properties in the region that are either closing or up for sale.

Rick’s for sale

In Murrysville, the massive Rick’s Sports Bar on Route 22 is up for sale. The 24,000-square-foot split-face block building sits on more than 10 acres. It is equipped with a full kitchen, lower banquet area, seating for 800 and spaces for live entertainment. It is priced at $4 million.

Just up the highway, Atria’s Restaurant in the Walnut Hollow plaza will close its doors Aug. 24 after more than two decades in Murrysville.

Atria’s officials said the plaza’s owner opted not to renew the restaurant’s lease. Atria’s will continue to operate its Peters location. In addition, the nearby Juniper Grill in Murrysville and other Juniper Grill locations will remain open. Both restaurant chains are owned by parent company Restaurant Holdings.
