ChurchKey Is
Open Daily

What a long, strange trip it’s been...

To say that we’re beyond thrilled to finally (finally!) get back into the swing of things would be an understatement of impossible magnitude. Suffice it to say, we are just absolutely stoked – and so genuinely grateful for your enduring patience and patronage. So many months in the making, we’re ready to throw open the doors to ChurchKey and welcome each and every one of you to join the celebration with us.

As someone so delightfully said on social recently “Baby got some new shoes!” And indeed she does. We’re excited for the myriad changes made – all of which expand on our original mission to make ChurchKey an incomparable bar for beer lovers of every stripe. We love the way the place looks and can’t wait to fill it up with all of you. So, buckle up everybody 'cause ChurchKey is back and ready to have some serious fun!
