After winding down his waffle shop and in the midst of growing a new juice brand, Anthony “A.J.” Brewer is on the move in Manchester.
Brewer is relocating his Brewer’s Cafe, which has operated since 2015 at the corner of Bainbridge and 12th streets, to a new space at 1012 Hull St.
The new cafe will be similar to the current concept, but will also feature a full bar and incorporate menu items from Brewer’s Waffles & Milkshakes, which permanently closed in February at 1309 and 1311 Hull St.

Here’s a run-down of what you missed and what’s to come:
Thousands of new apartments in the works
The year opened with the Pamunkey Indian Tribe announcing that it’s considering a $350 million casino and resort on the outskirts of Manchester. There’s still a lot of municipal red tape to get through before such a vision could come to life, but that hasn’t stopped the tribe from assembling land in the area, including a $4 million deal for 12 acres on Gordon Avenue.
