The Union League of Philadelphia is acquiring the popular Whitebrier bar and restaurant in Avalon, expanding its presence on the Jersey Shore. The Union League plans to convert the 200-seat Whitebrier at 255 21st St. into a private space for members during the summer, Union League President Robert M. Cavalier informed members in an email on Wednesday. The board of directors approved the sale on Tuesday.

The Whitebrier was listed for sale over two years ago as part of a 3.1-acre property that also included The Princeton, Circle Tavern, Rock Room, and the closed Sea Grill. The Union League’s purchase includes the Whitebrier and adjacent parking lots to the north and west.

The purchase price was not disclosed, though Cape May County tax records show the Whitebrier property is valued at $4.7 million. Located between Dune and Ocean drives from 20th to 21st streets, the block is just three blocks from the beach.
