New Businesses Eyed for Former Galaxy Brewing Site in Binghamton
The next chapter for a downtown Binghamton property that had been home to a craft brewery and restaurant may start soon.
Galaxy Brewing Company opened a beer production facility and a dining venue in 2013. The business operated for several years before it was shut down during the Covid-19 pandemic.
A Johnson City man acquired the property at 41 Court Street for $660,000 at a November auction. He told WNBF News Monday that he is continuing to consider options for the site, which includes second- and third-floor space that had received city approval for use as apartments.
While the new owner may pursue his own plans for the 39,520 square feet in the building, he also has listed the property for sale with an asking price of $1,250,000. He said he's willing to sell it if someone wants to buy it.
A person familiar with the situation said potential leases are being negotiated with separate parties to establish two new businesses at the site.
One lease would be for a bar and restaurant operation while the other would be to use the craft brewing equipment at the site to resume beer production.
Galaxy Brewing closed its restaurant at the end of 2018 but continued to operate a bar and tasting room while producing beer on the street level of the Court Street building.
In February 2019 Seth Weisel, who launched Galaxy Brewing with his father, outlined plans to move the business to another site in Binghamton to expand production.
A few weeks later, Isaac Anzaroot unveiled plans to set up Galaxy operations at the former E.H. Titchenor building off Clinton Street in the First Ward.
Those plans were abandoned after a falling out involving the Weisels and Anzaroot.
