After three years at 64 Second Ave. between Third Street and Fourth Street, Bronx Brewery has closed its East Village location.
After three unforgettable years, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our East Village location. 64 Second Ave was meant to be an extension of our Bronx roots, but it quickly became something so much more — a sanctuary, a gathering place, a second home.To our staff, friends, family, community partners, guests, and even that one squirrel who ran inside—we are endlessly grateful. Thank you for filling this space with your energy, your laughter, your stories... and, of course, your cheers.
The space also featured the first U.S. location for Swedish brand Bastard Burgers.
The original location in the Bronx (b. 2011) and the newer one in Hudson Yards will remain open.
This retail space had been vacant since NYC Velo moved a storefront to the north in 2016.

I'm sad about this. I was really happy to get some sort of brewery in the neighborhood - even if they didn't brew on site. That being said, they weren't any cheaper by any means compared to any other bar. But it's still a loss not to have it.
I agree with everything you said. One thing I had noticed was that Whole Foods was undercutting the price of their 4 packs which meant they weren't the best deal on their own beers in the neighborhood. I know that the beers at Bronx Brewery were fresher, though. Still, I've enjoyed their place a bunch. Sad they are gone.
Even though I am thrilled when another bar closes down on our over-saturated with bars block and neighborhood, they actually tried to be a good neighbor. Will miss you Taylor. (Don't @ me. If you lived on a formerly quiet block which has recently had as many as 8 bar restaurants with the attendant, sidewalk patrons, chimneys, incessant deliveries, grease tank and garbage trucks you would get it. Even the state licensing board has called the neighborhood over-saturated for quite literally decades at this point.)
