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
True, Arkady! Ok…How about an Official “Spread Peace & Love/Welcome FGB to the Neighborhood” Brownstoner Party?
“but then again it’s got a really cold menacing vibe to it and I wouldn’t want to go inside.”
This is true Lothar. I pondered going in several times but never did. The layout and design of the actual bar space in that joint are highly uninviting.
Ahem, Cobble. Snappy & I have determined that something planned in advance cannot, under any circs, be referred to as “impromptu”. See PLUSA Handbook, pg 2645, para. 17. CarGar has been whipped for so doing…
That corner will be full of peace and love by the time CobbleSnaps gets done sprinkling glitter about the place 🙂
dh, commerce that attracts the po po
I would say the best way to ensure that the type of bar we get is clean, fun, and wholesome is to patronize it right from the start.
Bring your friends. Have a Brownstoner party there. Show your support.
This didn’t happen with the “sports bar” down Fulton unfortunately called “Chance 11” — but then again it’s got a really cold menacing vibe to it and I wouldn’t want to go inside.
Hopefully FGB can do better.
what does ‘volatile corner’ mean?
“Perhaps an unsanctioned Brownstoner party there on opening day?”
We like to refer to that as an ‘Impromptu’, Mr. B!!
Formal unsanctioned Brownstoner parties are referred to as ‘Events’! : P
Keep us informed as to when opening day might be. There are a few people here who will drink on any day of the week.
