About Shamus

The Shamus Restaurant is situated in a charming old house in downtown Lockport. This 150 year old home was converted into a restaurant in 1973. The Gaelic name Shamus comes from the former owner, James Murphy, who established his original Lockport restaurant in 1950.

The Shamus Restaurant offers a wide variety of contemporary cuisine, including house specialties, to satisfy every taste. The bar is a local Lockport favorite with traditional Irish decor and the dining rooms have an intimate, "fine dining" atmosphere.

The Shamus is co-owned by Robert Beaulieu and Ann Murphy-Beaulieu, since 1990. Ann manages the daily operations, making the Shamus a favorite for many Lockportians. Dishes are prepared by both Chef Mike Cain, who started at the Shamus in 1996, and by Chef Dave Stoll, who has been at the Shamus since 2000. Their collective talents allow the Shamus to provide an ultimate dining experience to all patrons.
