A suburban brewpub will increase its capacity to 600 people across two levels, plus add a new pizza eatery, as part of a major expansion next month.

Bowden Brewing, in the Plant 3 development in Adelaide’s inner west, is taking over the precinct’s entire space, with the revamped offering designed to boost its business after dark.

The craft brewery’s venue will now feature four bars, New York-inspired Lucky’s Pizza – in addition to its existing Masa Mexican street food diner – along with a massive TV screen for sport and a pool table.

Co-owner Jake Phoenix said the expansion, set to launch on August 23 in time for AFL finals, will allow them to attract more locals and visitors alike.

“For us, the goal with Plant 3 has always been to make nights just as vibrant,” he said.

“Bowden Brewing’s been operating at full capacity and our smaller footprint was holding us back from the kinds of activations and events we love to run as a brewery.”

Lucky’s Pizza will showcase the brewery’s fresh take on the Australian slice, with a modern, crispy pizza closer to New York-style than Naples.

“Pizza is the perfect sharing food, and this is our version of something that fits Bowden and fits beer,” said Phoenix, who opened Bowden Brewing in July 2021.

“It’s all about quality toppings on top of a base that’s designed to hold up, whether you’re eating it here or taking it up to your apartment balcony.”

Phoenix said the brewery was excited to work with fellow businesses including neighbouring Lost Loaf and Plant 4 traders.

“Being part of the collective energy here is key... it’s what keeps this place alive,” he said.
