The Lock Tender is a tap room and craft bottle shop on the Erie Canal, in Lockport, New York.

We offer rotating craft taps, a local wine list and a wide variety of beer, cider, NA options, specialty sodas and crowlers to take home or enjoy at the bar, without a canning fee. We have options for every budget and love to share new brands and styles while featuring the classics. We offer a food menu of delicious sandwiches, tacos and knish.

Steps from the Erie Canal and historic Flight of Five, the Lock Tender is our salute to the classic canal town tavern and a celebration of craft and hospitality.

Always an event planned. Always kid friendly + pet friendly. The bike racks are ready for our cyclists and our bar tenders are always to welcome you in. Cheers to you.
