Fulton Grand Bar to Open Next Month
We almost wish a certain someone was still around to discuss this one…There’ve been rumors swirling about what’s going on behind the papered windows in the two adjoining retail spaces on Grand Avenue between Putnam Avenue and Fulton Street in Clinton Hill. The minutes of a recent Community Board 2 subcommittee meeting provides more details….
We almost wish a certain someone was still around to discuss this one…There’ve been rumors swirling about what’s going on behind the papered windows in the two adjoining retail spaces on Grand Avenue between Putnam Avenue and Fulton Street in Clinton Hill. The minutes of a recent Community Board 2 subcommittee meeting provides more details. The two spaces are being combined to create a single 34-seat bar currently referred to as Fulton Grand Bar with a full on-premise liquor license; there will also be a “limited menu” of food (and no dancing). As of last month, the owners were shooting to open some time in May. This could either be really good or really bad for what is already a volatile corner. GMAP
Heather, doesn’t Chance 11 seem kind of seedy and tacky to you? I live not so far away and walk past it to and from the subway and you see your random lounge lizard in there, hanging out in the orange glow — looks pretty creepy.
Re: coffee….. welcome to the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill border, retail wasteland.
Chance 11 seems pretty okay, although I agree, the exterior isn’t that inviting. I get a clockwork orange vibe. Not sure if that was the intention. I’m going to have to repeat my tired mantra though. More decent coffee on Fulton, please!
(The Outpost and Provisions being just far enough from me to be annoying at 7AM.)
Also, a shout out to “Just Taste It” — they have some really great food.
Is Autor du Monde still open?
And hoping Fulton Grand Bar is a bit like the Speakeasy, with less food. Also, more people should go to the Speakeasy.
The What was a racist ahole and is well gone.
Now why did Mr. B. use the words “the owners were shooting to open”. Trying to jinx things?
He’s the only sparring partner I have any respect for. cornerbodega and hannible are just trolls.
And I miss the I-beam. Once you’ve had it you never go back. 🙂
Yes, wasder , until I got banned from there, just before the church roof collapsed upon the congregation and it was all over!!!!
I do miss my Thurston Howell III avatar.

I was arguably the What’s biggest target and I wouldn’t mind seeing him back here.
Why?
But then you guys became BFFs on Asshat Hill right Dave?

donatella—if there is any sort of brownstoner event, official or otherwise, at this place I will be there. And hope to see you there too!
