Amid legal dispute, popular brewery & restaurant appears to have quietly closed

In the meantime, you can have a look at Unguis Hearted Brewing’s new location, located at 26 E. 5th Ave., from 4-11 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2-11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 to 7 p.m. on Sundays.

The Italian Town place on Fourth St. introduced that, “Production at this place has delayed and we have a minimal supply of our own beer. Please bear with us as we sort via these problems …”.

Now, the 4th St. location has quietly shut their doors, it appears. Google claims they’re permanently closed, and no bookings can be reserved the rest of the month, plus the brewery and restaurant published an Instagram story mentioning their closure, which has actually now been deleted.

Below’s a little regarding the lawful disagreement: The two Hoof Hearted Italian Village and Short North LLCs are scheduled to head to trial versus each various other in Franklin County Common Pleas Court in October over a legal dispute in between Hoof Hearted Developing LLC in Marengo (Short North bar proprietors) and the Italian Town brewpub partnership, called 2023 E LLC (Italian Village brewpub co-owners).

The brewpub in Italian Village and 2023 E LLC suggests that it possesses the civil liberties to the “Unguis Hearted Brewing” brand name, while Hoof Hearted Brewing in Marengo stated they’ve owned the name because they initially began in 2011. The Italian Town brewpub tried to block this new Short North place from opening, but the court rejected the attempt.
