A new brewery and restaurant is planned to be opened on Elmwood Avenue in 2016.

Mike Shatzel and Rocco Termini have purchased the buildings that entail Toro and Faherty's, both are located next to each other on Elmwood Avenue. Plans include a brewery inside the space that was Faherty's, and an associate restaurant next door where Toro is located.

Shatzel is the current owner of Blue Monk, a restaurant known for its leading inventory in craft beer.

His goal is "a brewery that really puts Buffalo on the map, nationally,” said Shatzel.  “Whether I am able to accomplish that, I have no idea. But that’s the goal."
