New bar King Tai opens tonight in a formerly decrepit garage at 1095 Bergen Street in Crown Heights. The decor theme is “1940s island vacation,” the owners told us, with shell-shaped vintage lighting, pastel colors, ceiling fans, and windows all around.

The name comes from a Chinese American fish restaurant that occupied the spot decades ago. (Check out the old photo on the bar’s website!) Owners Palmer Thompson-Moss and Dane Risch picked the building, which they bought in 2013, because of its width and site overlooking the community garden at 110 Bergen Street, they said.

Located between Nostrand and New York avenues, King Tai will be open from 5 pm to 2 am weekdays and from 4 pm to 4 am on weekends. DNAinfo was the first to write about the opening. Click through to see the interior.
