Customers holding gift cards for the now-closed Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant chain have a place they can use those cards — Bomba ¡Tacos + Tequila locations in East Whiteland Township, Chester County and Newtown, Bucks County.
In a Tuesday announcement, Bomba ¡Tacos + Tequila announced it will accept Iron Hill’s plastic gift cards, without regard to their stored value, for a one-time 25% discount on purchases of up to $1,000.
Once a customer uses an Iron Hill gift card at one of the Bomba ¡Tacos + Tequila locations, the card will be returned to the customer — “so they can redeem them if Iron Hill announces some type of refund/settlement,” the restaurant said in a press release.
The state attorney general’s office recently advised those with unused cards to dispute the purchases with their credit card company and to file a complaint with the state Bureau of Consumer Protection. Consumers looking to submit a formal complaint can contact the Office of the Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection at attorneygeneral.gov or 717-787-3391.
Iron Hill abruptly closed its remaining locations in late September. Two weeks later, the company submitted a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. According to reporting by Nation’s Restaurant News, Iron Hill’s filing showed the company had more than $20 million in debt and about $125,000 in cash.
Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code provides for liquidation — the sale of a debtor’s nonexempt property and the distribution of the proceeds to creditors, according to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey website. Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code generally provides for reorganization.
Iron Hill was founded in 1996 in Newark, Del., by Kevin Finn, Mark Edelson and Kevin Davies. The company’s second location opened in West Chester in 1998, and in 2020, the group opened its first large, full-scale production brewery in Exton.
Three locations — in Chestnut Hill, Voorhees, N.J., and Newark, Del. — closed in mid-September, according to Nation’s Restaurant News.
There were also locations in Hershey, Huntingdon Valley, Lancaster, Lehigh Valley, Media, Newtown, North Wales and Philadelphia. Two other Pennsylvania locations, in Phoenixville and Ardmore, closed in 2024.
Bomba ¡Tacos + Tequila!, is located at The Grove, 10 Liberty Blvd. in East Whiteland, Chester County, and at 2930 S. Eagle Road in Newtown, Bucks County.
