Big Ditch Brewing Company has officially opened its Lockport Tap Room and Brewery, bringing award-winning craft beer and high-quality pub fare to the City of Lockport.
Located in the Historic Post Office building at One East Avenuein the heart of downtown Lockport, together with the nearby Historic Palace Theater and Cornerstone Arena, this new destination forms a new leisure, entertainment and dining destination in Niagara County.
“We’re thrilled to bring Big Ditch to the City of Lockport and Niagara County,” said Matt Kahn, President and Co-founder of Big Ditch Brewing Company. “This City has a rich history, a strong sense of community, and a growing demand for great beer and food. Discussions held early last year with local officials convinced us that the
stars were aligned for Big Ditch to establish a venue in Lockport”, added Kahn. “As Big Ditch is named for the Erie Canal, the location and timing of the opening of the Tap Room and Brewery coincides nicely with its Bicentennial anniversary.”
The Lockport Tap Room offers a vibrant atmosphere with seating for 250 guests across two levels, a spacious bar, a main dining area, an outdoor covered patio, and private event space. The venue also features a small brewery dedicated to brewing experimental beers, providing patrons with the exclusive opportunity to be the first to taste new creations from Big Ditch.
The historic rehabilitation of the One East Avenue building was undertaken by Iskalo Development and was made possible by funding from the City of Lockport via the NYS Downtown Revitalization Initiative with further support from the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency.
The hours of operation at the Lockport Tap Room are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4pm to 10pm, Friday from 11am to 11pm, Saturday from 12pm to 11pm, and Sunday from 12pm to 8pm (closed on Tuesdays).
