The famous Lviv vodka and liqueur factory of Józef Adam Bachewski was founded in 1782 on Zhovkivska Rohatka in Lviv, when the owner of a distillery in the village of Vybranivka near Lviv, Leib Bachewski, moved his company to Lviv. One of the most successful Lviv enterprises was located in the buildings of the ancient Celetsky palace at the foot of the High Castle, on Zhovkivska Rohatka; spirits, vodkas, liqueurs, rums were produced here. Already in 1807, the factory received the status of the Imperial and Royal Privileged Regional Factory, in 1834 it was called the Rum, Vodka, Rosolis and Liqueurs Factory. In the middle of the 19th century, the owner's son Józef Adam was baptized and took the surname Bachewski. For many years, Bachewski's company became a kind of calling card of Lviv.

At the end of the 19th century, the factory acquired a piece of first-class modern equipment: a steam engine with a capacity of 200 horsepower. In 1908, a factory complex was built on the site of the ancient Celetsky Palace under the design of architect Vladyslav Sadlovsky, professor of the Industrial School, on Zhovkivska Street, 114/116 (now B. Khmelnytsky Street). This complex included a separate railway track: a branch from the station Pidzamche.

In 1939 - 1941, Distillery No. 3, one of the factories of the Vodka and Liquor Trust, was located on 2 Znesinnia, Furgalsky Street (now Opryshkivska Street). The factory was destroyed from bombing at the beginning of World War II. After the war until the end of the 1950s, Distillery No. 2 was located on Likerna Street, 2 (now Opryshkivska). Until the 1990s, these buildings housed the Diamond Instruments Factory, which no longer exists, like nearly all other Lviv industrial enterprises.
