42 North has officially opened its new taproom – 42 North @ The Flats – at 674 Main Street, bringing with it a new day for craft beer lovers in Downtown Buffalo. The new beer destination is located in the historic Wurlitzer Flats Building, in the heart of the Theatre District. The taproom joins a host of other nearby destinations, including Shea’s Performing Arts Center, Town Ballroom, and newly opened Electric City concert venue.
It was quite the undertaking to restore the historic building, according to 42 North’s founder, John Cimperman. Along with the 3000 square foot taproom, there are condominiums above – each of the four upper levels contains one large residential unit.
“If it were not for this great circa 1895 building in this great district, we would not have ventured into a second location,” said Cimperman. “We are proud to become part of the continued growth and vibrancy of the Theatre District. Our goal with this location is to collaborate with our neighbors and attract new visitors to the Theatre District and introduce more craft beer fans to 42 North.”
