21 Locks Brewing Company and Cafe

A February 2026 reviewer reports 21 Locks is permanently out of business, which is the kind of detail that quietly closes a chapter. Late-2025 reviews still describe a working brewery, cafe, and pizza counter on West Bridge Street, with owner Decio out front and chef Michael running the kitchen. By winter, the doors stopped opening.

What it was, when it was working: a big new industrial-feel building with high ceilings and a counter-order setup, no waiters. House beers like Pitch Dark lager and Lock Fest poured alongside thin-crust pizza, a smash burger, and a small breakfast lineup that included honey coffee toast and lemon ricotta toast with lemon jam. Coffee was roasted in house. The crowd, by several accounts, skewed 55-plus and quiet. one customer described the regulars drinking in near silence, which sounds peaceful or grim depending on the day you walked in.

Families with kids and groups expecting fast table service had mixed experiences toward the end. If you remember it fondly, that memory is what's left.
