A Message From Embers & 933 Speakeasy

To our friends, neighbors, and loyal guests,

For 11 years, Embers and 933 Speakeasy have been part of the Lockport community. Over the past five years, our current management team has worked tirelessly to move Embers and 933 Speakeasy forward-overcoming challenges, making significant improvements, and creating a restaurant and gathering place we are truly proud of.

Unfortunately, despite the progress we have made, we continue to face challenges that require us to make some difficult decisions.

Effective Monday, September 21st, Embers and 933 Speakeasy will temporarily cease regular restaurant operations until further notice. Sunday, September 20th, will be our last day open for regular restaurant service. However, we will continue to honor and operate all currently. booked private parties.

This is not a decision we made lightly. This temporary pause will give us the opportunity to regroup, reassess, and determine the best path forward for Embers and 933 Speakeasy.

We are incredibly grateful to our staff, our performers, our vendors, and especially our guests who have supported us, celebrated milestones with us, and made Embers and 933 Speakeasy part of their lives over the years.

Before we temporarily close our doors, we invite you to come out and see us one more time. Enjoy your Embers favorites, grab a cocktail, catch some live music, raise a glass with us, and spend some time with the staff and friends who have made Embers and 933 Speakeasy such a special place.

We remain hopeful that this is simply a pause-not a goodbye-and that we'll have the opportunity to welcome everyone back through our doors again soon.

Thank you, Lockport, for your continued support and understanding.

- The Embers & 933 Speakeasy Team

Our waitress was attentive and detailed and explained all the choices and sides to our two kids. The food was exceptional, we had burgers, grilled cheese with Italian beef and the Brussels sprouts with the honey and siracha was phenomenal. We will be back!
