Mano Negra Brewing Co. Finds New Home at 708 13th St in Lubbock

Mano Negra Brewing Co. has reopened its doors at 708 13th St in downtown Lubbock, marking a fresh chapter for the city’s first Latino-owned nano brewery.

Founded by Puerto Rico native Daniel Badillo in 2021, Mano Negra is beloved for craft ales, sangrias, and diverse non-alcoholic drinks that celebrate Latino heritage.

 

Local fans helped keep the dream alive by supporting their Wolfforth Farmers Market stall and fundraising efforts during the transition.

 

Visitors can once again enjoy Mano Negra’s signature beverages and lively events, including live music and salsa nights, bringing a unique cultural flair to downtown.

 

Stop by for authentic flavors and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere at the new location.
