What's New at Broken Bow Brewery, and What's Coming to Tuckahoe's Main Street

For most of its years on Marbledale Road, Broken Bow Brewery was where you went for a flight and a conversation. When you got hungry, you went somewhere else. That changed this summer. After a renovation, with reopening set for July 29, 2026, the family-run brewery came back with its own full-service kitchen.

A few blocks away, the former Growlers Beer Bistro space at 25 Main St. is going the same way. Its incoming tenant has the word "Kitchen" in its name.

So the village's two main spots for a beer have each been rebuilt around a menu in the same year. One kitchen is already serving, and the second is on its way.

Broken Bow kept its beer and built a restaurant around it

Broken Bow has brewed in Tuckahoe since 2012. The LaMothe family still runs it. The Journal News photographed the renovated space in July with Kathy and Lyle LaMothe, their daughter Kristen Stone and brewer Kasey Schwartz.

The renovation added:

• Two bars
• A private event space next to the tasting room
• An all-weather beer garden, which matters more in November than it did in July
• The ForkLift, a full-service kitchen

The kitchen is the change that sets up everything else. In its summer roundup, the paper described The ForkLift as serving "elevated bar food." It was the only Tuckahoe spot in The Journal News gallery of Westchester eateries that opened in summer 2026.

What The ForkLift serves

The food menu on Broken Bow's website is a pub menu. Most of it pairs well with lagers and stouts.

With a veggie burger and salads on the menu, a group with mixed appetites can stay in one place for the evening.

On the beer side, the posted tap list recently included a Spiced Oktoberfest at 6.4 percent ABV, described as crisp, toasty and cinnamon-flavored. The brewery rotates its lineup, so check the list before you go if you have a seasonal beer in mind.

A week at Broken Bow, by the clock

With a kitchen on site, the hours work like a restaurant's. On weekends the doors open at 11 a.m., so lunch is an option.

The Wednesday deal shows the shift most clearly, since a burger night depends on having a kitchen. The Burger and Beer Wednesdays listing still has Nov. 11 and Nov. 18 ahead on the calendar.

The address is 173 Marbledale Road, Tuckahoe.

Main Street's former Growlers space is taking the same path

The second half of the story is on Main Street. Westchester Magazine reported in March that Growlers Beer Bistro closed in December after five years. Brothers Chris and J.B. Gomez, who own Climbing Wolf Coffee and Beer in Dobbs Ferry, took the space for a second location.

Their Dobbs Ferry shop mixes coffee and beer. In the magazine's words, the Tuckahoe location keeps the original's "part-bean part-brew drink offerings while introducing an expanded food menu." It is called Climbing Wolf Kitchen, Coffee, and Beer, so food is part of the plan from the first day.

The Courier's fall restaurant preview, published Sept. 17, laid out what the brothers were aiming to cook:

• Pub fare, including burgers and fish and chips
• A fry bar
• Their own takes on fast-food classics, including a cauliflower crunch wrap and a house Big Mac

That preview expected a late-September opening. In its October update, Westchester Bars still listed the Tuckahoe location as coming soon, with no date. Treat the dishes as the brothers' stated plans rather than a confirmed menu. The village side is moving along. Tuckahoe's sign board took up J.B. Gomez's application for Climbing Wolf Kitchen Coffee & Beer signage at 25 Main Street at its June 15 meeting and approved it with a variance. For hours and opening news, check the business's own site at climbingwolf.com before you head over.

Last year, Tuckahoe's best-known beer spots were a brewery taproom on Marbledale Road and a beer bistro on Main Street. Now one is a brewery with a full kitchen and an all-weather beer garden, and the other is set to reopen as a coffee-and-beer shop with "Kitchen" in its name.

Where the two addresses sit in a Tuckahoe evening

The two spots also lean toward different parts of the day. Climbing Wolf comes from a coffee shop background, and its Dobbs Ferry location pairs coffee with beer. Broken Bow's weekday hours start at 3 p.m., and its kitchen menu leans toward dinner and shareables.

Once Climbing Wolf opens, the village will have one spot built around coffee and beer and another built around a brewery kitchen.

November dates worth putting on the calendar

The renovated event space is already booking community nights. On Monday, Nov. 16, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., the Tuckahoe-Eastchester Lions Club is hosting a Music Bingo Party and holiday toy drive at Broken Bow. According to the event listing, you need a ticket to play bingo, but regular customers can come in without one.

The rest of the month's schedule:

1. Wednesdays, Nov. 11 and Nov. 18: the $19.99 burger, fries and core-pour deal
2. Thursdays: $20 pitchers of select house beers
3. Nov. 16: Lions Club Music Bingo and toy drive

The toy drive is a community night in the brewery's new private event space, a room that came with this summer's renovation.

Local food and drink spots shape what a village feels like day to day. Over three decades in Lower Westchester, we have watched places like these become part of how people describe where they live.
