Nik Fattey opens Ellicottville location; invites YOU to the Fattey experience
The Fattey Beer Company is famously known for providing a relaxed craft beer experience to neighborhoods across Western New York. On Saturday, June 28th, the company expanded its list of available beer taps with a new location in Ellicottville.
The local spot in Ellicottville is housed where the Groove Health & Fitness used to stand. With the addition of Ellicottville in its line-up, the Fattey Beer Co. now has four different stores in the area - Orchard Park, Hamburg and Buffalo.
Owner Nik Fattey, who resides in Hamburg, spent a lot of his time in Ellicottville prior to the store’s opening. The sense of community in the village has always stood out to him, so it became impossible to miss out on the opportunity to expand the business.
“Everyone loves Ellicottville,” Nik said. “I went to see the building [of the new location] and loved that it was a quick and easy way in and out of town. People can either come in for a family night or choose to pick out a 12-pack from our beer store and be on their way. It’s just a natural fit.”
The business’s name may create an image of a traditional, old-school beer room. In reality, the Fattey Beer Co. offers a vibrant, open-minded experience for all to enjoy. The recently opened location in Ellicottville welcomed the local crowd of customers to many attractions.
Featured is a newly-added patio with a firepit in its center, a craft beer store accompanied by a tasting room and an open policy for those who want to enjoy a beer alongside their dog. The location’s headliner is the wide selection of international and world-recognized beer.
An added perk of visiting Fattey Beer is its ‘Mug Club’ - a monthly membership created for avid beer enthusiasts. The benefit of the club comes in the form of discounts, promotions and overall fun.
“We’ve got a good culture and we have the Mug Club too; it kind of drives it,” Nik said. “You get a mug with every membership, but you can also use the membership from store to store. If you’re coming from Orchard Park for a visit in Ellicottville, members will be able to enjoy discounts in here [Ellicottville] also.”
First-time customers of Fattey Beer may experience shock from the amount of beer available on demand.
“You’re gonna come into any Fattey Beer location - Ellicottville included - and you’re gonna be a little bit overwhelmed because we have lots and lots of beer,” Nik said. “We wanted this to be different. You’ll be thinking, ‘is this a bar or is it a store?’ There is something for everyone; we have non-alcoholic beer, we’re dog friendly, we have our famous chicken sandwich … we’re a neighborhood place.”
Following the opening of Ellicottville’s own Fattey Beer Co., Nik is currently working on reaching more neighborhoods in Western New York. In the next month or so, Fattey Beer Co. will open a new location at the Wurlitzer Building in North Tonawanda. The historical venue is known for hosting banquets and live musical events.
The Fattey Beer Co. at Ellicottville is open everyday from noon-10:00pm. For more information on the store’s beer selection, visit https://www.facebook.com/fatteybeer
