BERN TWP., Pa. – Fresh and tasty eats, including artisan flatbreads, signature wings and social plates and specialties such as Cajun chicken and sausage, Calabrian chili mussels and wild mushroom mignon, take center stage at a new dining establishment in Berks County.
The Post, a family-friendly restaurant and bar, held its grand opening on Wednesday at 2747 Bernville Road in Bern Township.
The updated property was previously home to The Hitching Post Restaurant & Bar, which closed in 2024 after 13 years of operation.
The Post, which held a soft opening on June 16, has a tagline of “food, drinks, good times.”
