Top of Main is being sold, and the bar and restaurant won’t reopen after closing for the shoulder season.

Building owner Greg Schirf told KPCW the original Wasatch Brewpub is under contract to be sold to a New York investor as of April 28.

The deal will close within 60 days. Schirf declined to disclose the name of the buyer or purchase price.

According to employees of Schirf’s tenant, known as Top of Main since 2023, the new owners bought out and terminated their lease.

The business and all its equipment has to be moved by the end of July, Schirf said. Top of Main will still produce beer for a short time before then.

“It was fun, but everything runs its course,” Schirf said in an interview. “And of course, the beer industry changed monumentally.”
