Thursday, May 27 marks the grand opening for Branded Saloon, the new bar on the corner of Vanderbilt and Bergen. The owner is Debra Bicknese, of Beast across the street, and according to the Village Voice, “The vision for 603 Vanderbilt Avenue was of a country-and-western bar serving up brown liquors, craft beers, and fried Dixieland treats.” On the Brooklynian boards, commenter Whatchuwant says, “I was in there last night (friends with one of the owners)- it’s really cool, the downstairs is going to be awesome and the bathrooms are amazing! … Oh, yea and the Saloon will have food, too!”
UPDATE: Beast‘s Debra Bicknese is one of three owners, including first-time bar owner & multi-media artist Gerard Kouwenhoven and real-estate broker & entrepreneur Alex Savoie. GMAP

Pequena will be a welcome addition as well! The more Vanderbilt becomes a destination spot, the better.
I’m psyched to check out the Saloon. I know that those folks have been working on this place for a long time. Yeee-haw!
…confirmed that there be swinging saloon doors in the bar.
Fine. But when oh when will PEQUENA open? It’s right across the street from here.
Saw a wagon wheel light fixture with faux gas lanterns hanging from it. Pretty serious I guess about this whole western theme.
I was wondering about this place. Thanks for the update, excited to get a drink there.
Any word on the “The Market Place” I think that is what it is called on St. Marks and Flatbush?
Hope they slide the drinks down the bar.

Doesn’t a saloon need swingy saloon doors?
