Streetlevel: A New Bar Coming to Cortelyou
The folks at Ditmas Park’s popular Farm on Adderley restaurant noticed as many folks were lining up for barstools as tables, so they decided what the ever-hippening neighborhood needed was a bar.

The folks at Ditmas Park’s popular Farm on Adderley restaurant noticed as many folks were lining up for barstools as tables, so they decided what the ever-hippening neighborhood needed was a bar. Later this month, on the same block, they’ll welcome their new drinking establishment, a hybrid business that will operate as a flower shop during the day—yes you can sit among the roses and sip wine at night, too. Adderley owners Allison and Gary Jonas and their partner Justin Israelson just aren’t sure what to call the place. They’re thinking Monkey’s Wedding—referring to the times when the weather’s both raining and sunny. You guys got any ideas?
Vine Bar is truly the superior name here. Stem and Nectar sound so posh and upper east side Manhattan. This is Brooklyn and I am proud to be a Brooklynite on Cortelyou and Stratford. Congratulations to both Allison and Gary for once again making a great effort to improve or neighborhood an palates. Kampai!

Stem is very clever, especially if it’s going to be a wine bar. Please tell me it’s not going to be a wine bar.
Suds & Buds?
Twee is a British word meaning quaint – nothing to do with Tweety Bird.
Been beaten to the post with Nectar. But im not mad about monkeys wedding. Sounds like something someone who laughs at his own jokes would come up with. The general rule i always thought is if you have to explain it, its wrong.
Good luck with the Barflower thing though.
Stem is very clever, but I really like Juniper also.
Spouse and I like “Stem” but also “Nectar” and even “Stem and Nectar.” But how about “VineBar”?
I liked barflower myself. Stem is too short to me.
There is a flower shop on Cortelyou, right across from the entrance to the subway, but it’s no better than a deli, mostly carnations and mums. I welcome the addition!
I vote for Monkey’ s Wedding. It is in line with the Farm’s name, also derived from a South African Expression. But Stem is noteworthy. Or Juniper? ( I’m gin-obsessed )
