Back in March 2023 we let you know that the 100-year old building that is home to the
Olney Ale House was sold
to Two Sibs LLC, led by Selim Kantar, for $1.45 million. More than two years later, restaurant management tells us that the hope is to open by the end of the summer.
Owner Selim Kantar previously told us that there were a few bumps in the road and delays to deal with during construction since it’s a rehabilitation rather than a new build. The restaurant, located at 2000 Olney Sandy Spring Rd (Rt. 108 and Doctor Bird Rd.), operated in the space until
a kitchen fire caused the restaurant to shut down
in 2019. The upcoming version will keep the Olney Ale House name and operate with an updated menu, keeping some of the old favorites, and new cocktails.
We will have additional information about the new Olney Ale House in the coming weeks. Below we share some photos of the restaurant along with some of itsnrich history, courtesy of the previous Olney Ale House
website:
