Our Story
Strongwater Food & Spirits is a part of the Franklinton arts community encompassing both an elevated dining experience and an atmosphere that attends to our roots as a neighborhood bar. Strongwater has been able to transform the D.A. Ebinger Sanitary Manufacturing Company’s [EBCO] previous lobby into a one-of-a-kind restaurant and event space that was born from art and the creative spirits of 400 West Rich St., a 100 year old 105,000 sq foot warehouse filled with over 90 private art and performance studios. EBCO built the original structure in 1910 for the creation of sanitary pipes. Later on, they developed the modern drinking fountain and created the dehumidifier.
Since EBCO left in the 50’s, the building has been occupied as a glass blowing studio, a storage facility, the local headquarters for Sweden Freezer Ice Cream Manufacturer, and the offices and storage for Pizza Hut and Taco Bell! Last renovated in 1944, we’ve done our best to keep all the original Birch woodwork and Terrazzo flooring in tact.
The restaurant gains its aesthetic and character from the archaic machinery to the massive tools and bolts. Our 3,000 sq. ft. event space encompasses the original sawtooth ceiling windows, full bar, modern bathrooms and catering kitchen. Whether you want a lively happy hour, a food menu with more than one vegan option, a unique wedding venue, or a relaxing night on our patio, there’s a place for you here.
