The Lock Tender is a tap room and craft bottle shop on the Erie Canal, in Lockport, New York. We are proud to share our space with The Urban Rural BBQ, offering a full menu of delicious low country cooking, Wednesday through Sunday.

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.

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.

Live music every Friday and Saturday. Brunch on Sundays. Always kid friendly + pet friendly. The bike racks are ready for our cyclists and our pickled eggs are in the jar. Cheers to you.
