The Henry Street Taproom at 86 Henry St. in Saratoga Springs has expanded its dining area into space next door formerly occupied by Pizza Works.
They have also expanded their kitchen and added a patio dining area and two fireplaces. The resulting establishment is about twice the size of the previous space.
Ryan McFadden, proprietor of the taproom, said that things are “going really well,” a few weeks after opening the new space. The expansion allows them to host private parties, he said, and to expand their food menu.
“It’s a more comfortable space,” he said.
Chef Matthew Weeks will have a new menu ready in early November. McFadden did not yet have the details, but he does expect double-patty burgers to be a feature in it.
The patio, partly indoors and partly outdoors, has a covered roof. It is designed for three-season use, but can be heated for use in the winter as well, said McFadden.
The expansion has brought with it an addition of servers, hosts, and kitchen staff, of about 30 percent, he said.
Henry Street Taproom features craft brews, both locally sourced and from around the world, McFadden said.
The restaurant is open seven days a week: Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to midnight; Friday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Saturday and Sunday, from noon to 2 a.m.
