What Broken Bow Brewery's Renovation Changed for Weeknight Dinner in Tuckahoe

For most of its history, Broken Bow Brewery was the place you went for a pint. It was a family-run brewery on Marbledale Road, open since 2012, and you came for the beer. On July 29, 2026, it reopened as something else. The renovation added a full-service kitchen, a second bar, a private event space and an all-weather beer garden.

That list of upgrades can read like a press release, so here is what it means in practice. Broken Bow now does what a neighborhood restaurant does. You can bring the kids. You can bring the dog. You can order a burger on a Wednesday for less than $20, and you can get a cup of coffee at the same place that brews the stout. I've lived in Eastchester for more than a decade, and this is the change I care about. Tuckahoe has a new weeknight dinner table, and it's on the light-industrial stretch of Marbledale Road, not on Main Street.

The family behind the bigger building

The Journal News photographed Kathy and Lyle LaMothe in the remodeled space with brewer Kasey Schwartz, and listed them as the owners of the family-run brewery. Jeanne Muchnick covered the reopening for lohud in a July 27 feature, "Tuckahoe brewery reopens with new look, food." The paper later put Broken Bow in its gallery of Westchester eateries that opened in summer 2026.

The brewery's own description shows how the building is laid out now. These are the spaces it lists:

• The Foundry Bar, the original bar
• The ForkLift, the new kitchen with its own bar
• Indoor seating areas
• A patio "designed for every season"

The drinks menu has grown too. Beyond the house beers, Broken Bow now serves wine, spirits, cocktails, coffee and non-alcoholic drinks. That matters at a table where only one person wants a beer, and it's the biggest reason the place now feels like a restaurant. The brewery's own pitch covers lunch, after-work drinks, date night and family dinners.

What's on The ForkLift menu

The kitchen page calls the food "chef-driven" but doesn't name a chef. The posted menu is easier to read as a list of categories than as a description, so here it is grouped the way you'd probably order:

The pulled pork comes on a pretzel roll, and pretzel bites lead the starters. A brewery kitchen leaning on pretzels makes sense. lohud described the food as elevated bar food, which fits the menu.

Who can come along

These are the house rules that make Broken Bow work for a family weeknight, and they come from the brewery's visitor page:

1. Kids are welcome, as long as they stay with a parent or guardian the whole visit.
2. Friendly dogs on a leash are welcome in the covered atrium and in the grassy outdoor area the brewery calls the Bark N Bow.
3. Water bowls are provided for the dogs.

The brewery also describes "relaxing on our year-round patio with your dog." A covered atrium and a beer garden built for any weather mean the dog-friendly part of the visit doesn't have to end with the warm months. That's the practical payoff of the renovation as we head into October.

The weeknight math

This is where Broken Bow shows it wants to be a regular stop and not only a weekend destination. The brewery's events calendar lists two recurring weeknight deals, current as of early October 2026:

Put those two prices next to each other. On Wednesday, $19.99 covers dinner and a beer for one person. On Thursday, $20 covers the beer for a table. One deal is built for eating alone after work and the other for a group. The fall seasonal, Spiced Oktoberfest at 6.4% ABV, is on the beer list now. The Oktoberfest Pitcher & Pretzel special, a $25 pitcher of Spiced Oktoberfest with a large warm pretzel and mustard, ran Sept. 28 through today, Oct. 4. If you missed it, the Thursday pitchers are the next-closest deal.

One caution on timing. When we checked, the hours on the brewery's visitor page hadn't loaded and showed only "Loading hours…" Before you head over, call the brewery at 914-268-0900 or check brokenbowbrewery.com. Weekly specials and prices can change too.

Getting there, and a Sunday that starts at Depot Square

Broken Bow is at 173 Marbledale Road. The brewery says it's a few minutes from the Bronx River Parkway and within walking distance of the Crestwood Metro-North station. If you're coming home from the city on the Harlem Line, Crestwood is the stop the brewery points you to.

On Sundays this fall, you can start your day at the other end of the village. The Village of Tuckahoe Farm & Maker Market runs Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Depot Square, in the train-station parking lot, from May 31 through Nov. 22, 2026. The village calendar lists the remaining October dates as Oct. 11, 18 and 25. The market announcement mentions local produce, baked goods, cheeses, honey, artisan foods, handmade crafts, flowers and plants. It doesn't name individual vendors, so what you find depends on the week.

The market closes at 1 p.m., which is about when a late Sunday lunch starts. Market in the morning and Truffle Mushroom pizza in the beer garden in the afternoon makes an easy local Sunday.

What's next on Marbledale Road

Broken Bow's renovation isn't the only change coming to this stretch. On Aug. 19, 2026, Westfair reported that the Tuckahoe Planning Board had given conditional approval to 93 Marbledale Properties LLC for a four-story, 111,560-square-foot building at 83–95 Marbledale Road. Most of it, 108,170 square feet, is planned for self-storage. The other 3,390 square feet is street-level retail and service space.

The approval comes with conditions. The developer has to resolve environmental-contamination issues with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and provide letters confirming electric, water and sewer service. No retail tenants have been named, and nothing is open or under construction yet. For now, it's a plan to watch, and it would add some street-level shops to the road Broken Bow has already made into a dinner destination. The Westfair report has the full approval details.

If you've already tried The ForkLift, I'd love to hear what you ordered. And if a new local favorite has you thinking about which part of Tuckahoe, Crestwood or Eastchester fits your own weeknights, that's a conversation I enjoy.
