Stockyards Brewing Co

About Stockyards Brewing Co

Set in the former Golden Ox steakhouse, the space keeps its vintage charm with mahogany walls, stained-glass ceilings, and a western saloon feel. It’s a place that honors the grit and history of the Stockyards District while serving up beer that’s as honest as the people who drink it.
