Five Boroughs Brewing Co. on the Move: A New Chapter Ahead
In a significant development for the New York City craft beer scene, Five Boroughs Brewing Co. announced it will close its original Sunset Park taproom on December 21, 2025. This closure signifies the end of an eight-year chapter at this iconic location. Yet, the brewery is already setting its sights on a new NYC home that promises to enhance the taproom experience. While a new site is being secured, the current space will transition to Brooklyn Cannery, which will continue to offer Five Boroughs beer along with fresh café options.
The decision to relocate is driven by a focus on creating a vibrant taproom experience rather than expanding manufacturing capabilities. As Five Boroughs actively searches for this new venue, it aims to maintain its roots in New York City, prioritizing foot traffic and community engagement. This shift is a testament to the brand’s commitment to fostering a lively gathering spot for NYC’s craft beer enthusiasts.
A Fond Farewell and a Bright Future
Kevin O’Donnell, Co-Founder of Five Boroughs, expressed gratitude and nostalgia for the Sunset Park location, stating, “This taproom has been more than just a building; it’s been a hub for community and celebration across New York’s diverse neighborhoods. Although it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, the support we’ve received has been incredible.” Five Boroughs remains determined to find a new location that mirrors this sense of community and embodies the spirit of New York.
The transition to Brooklyn Cannery will allow Five Boroughs to maintain a presence in its original neighborhood. The space is set to evolve into a daytime café and event venue, continuing to serve beloved Five Boroughs brews. This interim change ensures that the beer community can still enjoy their favorite offerings while the brand transitions to a new chapter.
Continuing the Craft Legacy
Rob Day, VP Of Marketing at Barrel One Collective, highlighted the significance of the Sunset Park taproom, saying, “While we close this chapter at Five Boroughs, it’s certainly not the end. We remain committed to New York beer culture and are excited to find a new home that allows us to keep engaging with this incredible city.” Until the doors officially close, patrons are encouraged to visit and celebrate the legacy of Five Boroughs in Sunset Park.
Five Boroughs invites the community to join them in toasting the memories and friendships forged in their Sunset Park taproom. The coming weeks offer a last chance to experience the warmth and camaraderie that have defined this beloved local brewery.
