In October of 2025, a small craft brewery and pub began renovating 243 East 4th Street to become The Dug & Firkin. The Dug & Firkin, when completed, will be a British brewpub. It will have British ales and British eats, along with other beers, fine wines, and specialty cocktails.

The address 243 East 4th Street in Downtown Loveland has held more than a few things since 2013. In 2013, Jacki March opened Rabbask Designs; she closed that store in 2020. After that, Sweetheart City General, a general store and delicatessen went into the space but closed in the summer of 2021. An artisan market was in the space for a bit, but didn't make it either.
