A Unique Dining Experience in the Heart of the Historic Clarence Hollow. 

The Hollow Bistro & Brew was established in December 2010. The Hollow Bistro & Brew is Owned and Operated by Father and Daughter Partners'; Simon Yu and Katie Yu-Stahlka. The Yu Family have resided in Clarence for 31 years.

The Hollow Bistro & Brew is located in a building which has a long history in Erie County.  Built in 1804, it was the site of the first private school in Erie County; the Clarence Classical School. In the 1890's, the building was moved to its current site, in order to make way for the railroad that crossed Main Street. Before the Bistro was established, the building was a bakery, a hardware store and the original location of the Yu’s Businesses; The Clarence Deli and The Heart of the Hollow ice cream parlor.

In order to accommodate the growing numbers of guests, the decision was made to expand the original business. In May of 2016, a new dining room, patio and a private event room were added.  The restaurant is furnished with classic Asian-American décor, using bamboo, Chinese panels, and various Asian antiques, selected specifically from Katie and Simon’s Travels to China.

The Hollow Bistro & Brew is now able to accommodate larger groups and private events in it's spacious addition, while still maintaining the quaint, cozy atmosphere of the original bar area.

Upon opening, the bistro quickly became a popular spot for locals, travelers and those looking for a unique place to eat. The Asian influences on The Hollow Bistro & Brew’s menu originates from the Yu Family’s proud Hong Kongese Heritage. It has become a destination for Guests far and wide.
