“Pulled daily from the Gowanus.”
That would be “developerfish” then. Looks like a red grouper, tastes like ass and costs a ton of $$.

pastoralia, catfish is local?
“There are way too many bars in this area. I guarantee half will close in the next year, especially as the economy tanks.”
As always, the optimist. And I KNOW you’ll come back with “realist.”
The area will support what it can support. The 6th Ave corridor in that area is perfect for small places, since it is surrounded by residential, much of it newer higher density.
I say bring on more. If only a bar with a good tequila selection, but I tip my hand.
Talked to the new owner, Patrick last week. The BarBQ guy retired so he took over. It will feel the same except with better, local foods (catfish fingers, hushpuppies, and pulled pork sandwiches). He’s also expanded the tap beer selection by about ten new lines. I loved Bar BQ but the only reason the food seemed so delicious was because I’d spent two hours drinking beer and whisky before I sat down to eat.

There once were zero hip bars there, now there are like five.
Oh no, what happened to BarBQ?!?!? The brisket was excellent!
This stretch of 6th has a really great feel to it- love that it’s a little destination in a residential area as opposed to a long strip of continuous commercial like 7th or 5th. There’s a neat antique store/glassware store that also opened. Hope more things come in.
i looked in there last night (on my way to Toby’s). inside seems untouched. love the six points on tap, which i plan on sampling asap.
i’ve lived in the ‘hood for about 4 years now and couldn’t believe how trendy 6th ave seemed last night, with all kinds of hipsters, etc. it looked like williamsburg did about 10 years ago. amazing.
safe haven should do well there.
