Blue Hill Tavern closes in Brewers Hill
Blue Hill Tavern has closed after 15 years in business.
Owners Mel Carter and Brett Lockard shared the news online Saturday night. “A 15 year run in this business is a lifetime and we can only thank our staff, our guests and our families for making that happen,” they wrote in a post shared to Facebook and on Blue Hill’s website.
The Brewers Hill bar and restaurant was a neighborhood staple for New American fare like fried pickles with chipotle banana peppers, Wagyu burgers and bleu cheese martinis.
Blue Hill opened at the corner of Conkling and Dillon streets in 2009, just as the Brewers Hill neighborhood was taking off. A 2016 review in The Sun lauded the restaurant’s food for being “straightforward and remarkably good,” but “not boring.”
The three-story, 15,000-square-foot restaurant had been up for sale since at least 2022. A 2023 post on the online marketplace Loopnet listed an asking price of $2 million. The listing has since been removed.
