The Story

A New Chapter in a Familiar Place

The Meat Locker name reflects the history of the property, which previously served as the home of W. A. Drake Co., a meat locker and grocery business established in 1940. The new restaurant carries that connection forward as a place for food, drinks, and new local memories.

Honoring the building’s past while creating a new gathering place.
