For David Stoudt, owner of Rooster Street Butcher in Lititz, getting into the restaurant biz wasn’t planned. “I always enjoyed cooking, the culinary arts, and restaurants, but I never saw myself as owning or running a restaurant—let alone a butcher shop that is transitioning into a brewery,” he says.
Under Stoudt’s ownership, Rooster Street is expanding its repertoire of cocktails, burgers, and butcher cuts with an on-site craft brewery.
Stoudt also owns the Bulls Head Public House and Lititz Springs Inn, both local staples in and of themselves. Soon, Stoudt says, “We’ll brew craft beer for the property on Cedar Street, along with the Bulls Head, Lititz Springs Inn, and local area restaurants.” Guests will also be able to get beer to-go.
Stoudt says Rooster Street’s success is a multifaceted puzzle: “Combined with excellent food, craft cocktails from our partners at Thistle Finch and Stoll & Wolfe, and a lively atmosphere, we are a unique establishment in the heart of America’s Coolest Small Town.”
Rooster Street is open to even more evolution while honoring its historic roots and commitment to inclusivity. For Stoudt, the goal is to build on the foundation of Rooster Street’s previous owners, Tony and Kristina Page.
Stoudt says, “Rooster Street is a beloved part of the community, and we look forward to continuing their legacy of hospitality excellence on Cedar Street. Starting a craft brewery will also provide new jobs, provide crossover positions with our current restaurants, and help turn Lititz into even more of a craft beer destination than it already is.”
