The Brew Moon Restaurant & Micro Brewery, opened at Ward Centre two years ago on $3 million of venture capital, is up for sale following the recent bankruptcy of its Boston-based parent.

The 8,000-square-foot, 280-seat outlet will remain open and not lay off any of its 85 employees during the sale process, the company said today.

A local partnership including general manager Shawn Rubert is seeking to buy the restaurant from Brew Moon Enterprises Inc., which filed Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy two weeks ago.

Brew Moon is also selling all four of its restaurants in Boston after failing to secure several million dollars in additional venture capital to expand, owner Elliot Feiner said today. Brew Moon had originally planned to go public this year.

The announcement follows the closing of Ward Centre's A Pacific Cafe earlier this month. Opened in 1996, the restaurant was reportedly having financial trouble.

Meanwhile, across Auahi Street from Ward Centre, Dallas-based restaurant chain Dave & Buster's Inc. is scheduled to open a 40,000-square-foot restaurant and entertainment establishment next year.
