Mercer Social House

Opened in 2024 in the former Urban Grill space, this casually refined eatery pays tribute to Newtown's history as Mercersburg (settled 1792 by Captain Aaron Mercer). Co-owner Nick Fucito brings his hospitality expertise to a menu of classic American fare with modern twists—the fried spicy chicken sandwich with cherry peppers packs serious heat, while the horseradish cheddar mashed potatoes steal the show. Weekend brunch draws families, and the seamless indoor-outdoor flow makes it perfect year-round. Surrounded by Clear Creek Park and the charming village, it's become the heart of Newtown's dining scene.
