New Bar Coming to Third Avenue
The sign says it all: Over 200 of the world’s finest beers (Brooklyn Lager included?) will soon be available for sipping at 530 Third Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets. The sign says Draft Barn, also the name of a beer hall on Avenue X. Is that their South Slope cousin? Seems a strange spot…

Seems a strange spot for a bar, but if Whole Foods ever shows up, perhaps nearby businesses on Third Ave will get a boost? Upstairs is something called the Brooklyn Acupuncture Project, where a date with the needles ranges between $15 and $45. Maybe they’ll have specials on a brew with some Eastern medicine?
Draft Bar opens with a private party for friends and family on Saturday, November 8, 2008 and opens to the public on Sunday, November 9, 2008.
Hey. If you guys dont know, right across the street will be Hotel plus there’s couple of condos going up in the area. Also Bike Shop. (those bikers ask every day when we will open up) Neighborhood is growing give it 2 years at most. BTW BAR IS OPENING WEEK AFTER HAllOWEEN. Got the Beer licence YEY 🙂 we will have hard liquor pretty soon as well.
Place is pretty big can fit large groups of people. Bar is hand maded so as everything else inside 🙂
This isn’t Park Slope (zip codes do not a neighborhood make), but nor is it mugging territory. If you’re drinking nearby, I’d say stumbling into the Taco Bell down the street is your biggest danger.
Ewww Seriously?
Yes – I’ve lived there for 7 years – 11215. It’s people like you that make it hard.
“Park Slope’s boundaries on the Southern-Western end are actually Prospect Expressway and 3rd Ave.”
That’s what the realtor told you?
Park Slope’s boundaries on the Southern-Western end are actually Prospect Expressway and 3rd Ave. I’m between 3/4th on 15th and we have a 11215 zip.
And you will definitely not get mugged over there. Not much at all will happen really. I walk home late nights all the time and there’s nothing going on, it’s super safe. Unlike @ 10 years ago. You’ve probably got more of a probability getting mugged near the park, as criminal contingent usually assumes that where the $ is to be had.
The owner gave me a tour the other day, it was nice. It has a bar is in the middle of the floor, private booths, even a private room for small gatherings. The kitchen downstairs was immaculate. It is going to be central European fare and beers.
I’m looking forward to this place opening. Its close to my place and I kind of like this area of Gowanus/South Slope. I wouldn’t say it is sketchy, edgy definitely, but not sketchy.
which bus goes down 3rd ave? It stops by my apt in prospect heights. Maybe i will jump on it and check it out.
