September 25th, 2009 at 9:55It’s not to often these days that print media can tell me something that I haven’t already read on the internet, but I read something pretty exciting new for Greenpoint in Time Out New York the other week.
The Manhattan Inn will be opening in Greenpoint next month on Manhattan Ave between Bedford and Nassau. If you are familiar with the neighborhood this block is only about five store fronts long, and will occupy the space that Johnny’s Cafe was in (Johnny’s is moving to Queens):
The new Greenpoint bar sounds interesting too here is what Time Out had to say:
TEN MINUTES FROM NOW
Renaissance barsThanks to the cocktail revival and craft beer craze, the public has gotten pretty savvy. Expect bars that are solid on all fronts.
Coming soon: The Manhattan Inn (632 Manhattan Ave between Bedford and Nassau Aves, Greenpoint, Brooklyn; no phone yet), an all-purpose bar with a locavore bent, opens in October. (read the article here).
Not to say that Greenpoint needs more bars, but it will be nice to have something close other than Enid’s and Matchless. While I’ll typically still head over to the Diamond… Manhattan Inn might be just what I need when it’s snowing out this winter, and I want a nice warming cocktail or beer. I can’t wait to see what this turns into.
UPDATE (10/1/09): I just found a little bit more info via TONY:

The big, green locavore flag is set to fly over yet another Brooklyn eatery. This time it’s a bar-café-restaurant combo from Brooke Baxter and Rolyn Hu, the co-owners of Glasslands Gallery. The contractor, Evan Haslegrave, was last seen turning sewing machines into beer taps at Elsa: Look for more fun repurposing here. (read the full article here)

This sounds very cool. Any new info as to when the bar might open? We’ll certainly bring the Punk Rope crew over there one evening.
