Westhampton Beach Brewing Targets March 14, 2026 Village Brew & Grille Opening

Westhampton Beach Brewing announced on Feb. 21, 2026 that it will open a second location, the Village Brew & Grille in Westhampton Beach proper, with a targeted opening date of March 14, 2026 to align with the village’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities. The company set the March 14 date to place the new spot squarely in the early-season tourist window.

The Village Brew & Grille is billed as Westhampton Beach Brewing’s second location; the brewery framed the build-out and staffing timeline around the March 14 target to capture seasonal tourist traffic and the village event calendar. By aiming for mid-March, the brewery is positioning the new site to serve visitors arriving for weekend events and early spring visitors to the South Fork.

The Feb. 21 announcement laid out the timing but did not release tap lists, menu details, or exact hours for the Village Brew & Grille. What is clear from the announcement is the operational priority: open in time for village St. Patrick’s Day gatherings on March 14 and the immediate tourist surge that follows. Those two markers are driving the schedule for permitting, build-out, and staffing.

Westhampton Beach Brewing’s decision to locate the new venue "in Westhampton Beach proper" signals a focus on village foot traffic rather than an out-of-village industrial or waterfront site. The company framed the new venue as a complement to its existing operations, aiming to bring craft beer options into the heart of the village during one of the earliest community celebration weekends of the year.

If Westhampton Beach Brewing meets the March 14, 2026 target, the Village Brew & Grille will open its doors in time for the village’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities and the opening swell of seasonal tourism. The Feb. 21 announcement sets a clear timeline for what will be a closely watched early-season launch for Westhampton Beach’s craft-beer scene.
