While they have not yet set a specific opening date, the management of Tangled Roots Brewing Company is looking forward to opening its new location on Washington Square “in the near future.”
“Tangled Roots is very grateful for the warm welcome from both the City of Washington and the Washington Chamber of Commerce, and residents,” Tangled Roots director of marketing Anna Wright said. “We are thrilled to be a part of such a vibrant and supportive community and truly appreciate the kindness and enthusiasm you’ve shown us. We’re excited to build lasting relationships, share our passion for craft beer and food, and contribute to the growth and success of Washington.”
Tangled Roots Craft Beer & Kitchen will be located at 140 Washington Square, Washington. The company will also operate an events center at 120 Walnut Street and a retail facility at 126 Walnut Street.
In a June story by the Journal Star, Nathan Watson, the CEO of CL Real Estate Development said construction would be completed in the fall and the grand opening slated to take place by the end of the year.
The Washington location will be the fifth for the Ottawa-based Tangled Roots franchise. The company also operates locations in Ottawa, Glenview, Lockport, and Vernon Hills.
Wright added that Washington is a good fit for the restaurant group because of its “commitment to community engagement aligns with the community’s keen sense of local pride,” Wright said. Tangled Roots will provide a unique dining option while creating jobs and supporting local suppliers, Wright said.
“This economic boost can have a positive ripple effect on the community,” Wright said.
Known for a wide range of “farm to foam” beers brewed from locally grown barley, other Tangled Roots Craft Beer and Kitchens offer lunch and dinner menu with a selection of starters, soups, salads, flatbread, sandwiches, and entrees. The Tangled Roots brunch menu features Korean BBQ Chicken and Waffles, brunch burgers, and pancake tacos.
