The Triple Three at 89 Arch St.
March 26, 2025
Two downtown Hartford restaurants, one property in Front Street district listed for sale
The Arch Street Tavern, at 83-85 Arch St. in Hartford, is for sale.
Two restaurants in downtown Hartford’s Front Street Entertainment District, a key area that has struggled to regain its footing coming out of the pandemic, are for sale.
The Arch Street Tavern, which opened in 1978 and has been a favorite haunt of politicians over the years, has been listed for $1.1 million. Both the business and its property at 83-85 Arch St. are for sale, according to the listing.
A newly opened Peruvian restaurant, The Triple Three, located in the adjoining building at 89 Arch St., is also for sale.
Both restaurants remain open to patrons.
The 4,209-square-foot Arch Street Tavern space features a fully equipped kitchen, tables, chairs, bar stools and an outdoor patio, according to the listing. It contains a spacious bar and a stage for live performances.
The property is owned by Collins Brothers LLC of Hartford. The owner, Jerry Collins, has operated the restaurant since its inception.
The seller is represented by Lyle Rotondo of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, who declined to comment Wednesday morning.
The one-story building at 83-85 Arch St. was constructed in 1895 as the Hartford Brick Carriage Factory, which produced buggies and carriages before the advent of cars.
It has also served as a firehouse and a truck body shop.
Arch Street Tavern is connected to 89 Arch St., home to The Triple Three, which opened in 2024 to much fanfare.
The listing describes The Triple Three as a “turnkey business opportunity in a prime location.” The business is priced at $185,000. The Capital Regional Development Authority owns 89 Arch St., and the building itself is not for sale. CRDA bought the property for $650,000 in 2023. It previously housed Blind Pig Pizza Co.
In 2022, the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission denied an application for a cannabis dispensary at the site.
The principal of The Triple Three 333 LLC is Jefferson Valdiviezo, who also owns New Britain-based trucking company Smooth Logistics, according to state business filings.
However, a family spokesman said his parents, Ana Vasallo and Ivan Valdiviezo, have taken over the restaurant business with help from Jefferson Valdiviezo’s younger brother, Kevin Vasallo, who has stepped in as the general manager.
The sellers are represented by local real estate agent Carmen Palacios. She did not return a message seeking comment Wednesday morning.
The Triple Three was recently renovated and has a modern kitchen, the listing states. The restaurant spans more than 3,000 square feet and has about 75 seats.
A spokesman for CRDA said the board has not expressed interest in buying the Arch Street Tavern property.
