A come-as-you-are cocktail lounge in downtown Oswego. Built for good drinks, good company, and long nights.

Featuring a full bar, with a bourbon forward back bar.

Not every night calls for a cocktail.

Sometimes it’s a cold beer at the bar, a glass of wine with a friend, or your usual poured just the way you like it.

Whatever’s in your glass, pull up a seat and stay awhile.

Built for cold beers, good drinks, good company, and long nights.

See you at Bay 54

We opened the doors, you showed up, and somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, we got our feet under us.

And yes we heard you!

So we’re giving you a little more Bay 54, which was always the plan. Our new permanent hours are officially here, which means earlier afternoons, longer weeks, and a few more hours each week to claim your favorite seat in Oswego.

More time for good drinks, good company and long nights at Bay 54.

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞. 𝐂𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞.

The screen is up, so you can enjoy the breeze, the sound of the rain, and settle in for the evening. Some nights are simply built for rainy evenings, good company, and one more round.

𝐎𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐠𝐨… 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩.

Last night was everything we hoped it would be.

For over a year, we’ve been building Bay 54. But buildings don’t become part of a community because they’re finished. They become part of a community because people walk through the door.

Thank you for sharing a drink, striking up conversations, reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and making Bay 54 feel alive from the very beginning.

Because that’s exactly why we built this place: 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬, 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬.

We’ll see you tonight at 5 PM.

The article said it, the Village said it, and now it’s our turn: Bay 54 opens Friday, July 24th.

We want to start by saying thank you. Over the last year, this project has been followed, shared, asked about, encouraged, and supported in ways we will never be able to fully explain. Every message, every conversation, every “when are you opening?” has meant something to us.

You have been excited for Bay 54 before we even had the chance to welcome you in, and we are beyond grateful for that.

Bay 54 will start to come to life on Wednesday and Thursday with private preview nights. Those nights are not open to the public, but they will give our team the chance to settle in, find our rhythm, and get ready for Friday.

On Friday, we’ll begin with a ribbon cutting at 4:00 PM, with service starting immediately after.

For our first night, we’ll be seating guests as we’re able and will not be taking reservations. We expect it to be a busy one, and there may be a wait, but we’ll be doing everything we can to get as many of you in as possible without rushing the experience. Bay 54 was built to be settled into, and we want to make sure we start that the right way.

So please bear with us, give our team a little grace, and know that we are ready to give this everything we have.

Thank you for waiting with us. Thank you for cheering us on. Now let’s finally open the doors.

06/18/2026

With the windows uncovered and Bay 54 starting to come to life, we’ve loved seeing people pause for a look, stop out front, and say hi.

PrairieFest weekend feels like the right time to make that hello official.

This Sunday during the parade, we’ll have the garage door open for a small First Look at the space and our menus out front.

We’re not open to the public just yet, so guests won’t be able to come inside, but we’re excited to meet a few more neighbors and share a little preview of what’s coming to 57 Main Street.

Bay 54 is closer than ever!
