Shake Shack Coming to Beisl Space?
Could it be true? Is Shake Shack really coming to the Thomas Beisl space across from BAM? We have no idea, but that’s the implication of a hint-dropping post on a blog called At the Sign of the Pink Pig. Here’s how they put it: Let’s say a moderately well-known restaurant was known to be…
Could it be true? Is Shake Shack really coming to the Thomas Beisl space across from BAM? We have no idea, but that’s the implication of a hint-dropping post on a blog called At the Sign of the Pink Pig. Here’s how they put it:
Let’s say a moderately well-known restaurant was known to be closing its doors after half a dozen or so years. And let’s say it had a nice terrace for outdoor dining alongside. And it was very near an entertainment center. A good place for a Shake Shack?
As Grub Street said when the New York Mag food blog reblogged the rumor yesterday, “this reads more like wishful thinking than genuine intel — but, hey, something to think about.” After all, Shake Shake’s owner Danny Meyer has been eyeing locations in Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene for the last couple of years. And as Eater reported last week, the Beisl space recently hit the market. Here’s the listing.

Burger 67 is definitely better.
Really bummed about them closing. Always enjoyed the food and beer there.
Wait I was just there last Sunday and they’re closing? Just my luck! I had some of the best chicken paprikash with spatzle. This sucks. All we need is a long line around the block for a shake shack. I hope they at least turn it into something cool, like an open air restaurant/ gastropub/ biergarten. Al fresco dining and drinking would be a good thing for the area.
like tgif or italian garden?
i heard they’re competing for the lease.
Gastropub is a pub that has a focus on food. Not pub food, but really good food, but in a pub atmosphere.
Our fave pre-Bam meal is Deniz, the Turkish place 1.5 blocks away on Fulton. Reasonable, really good, great menu.
We loved stopping by Beisl for drinks and food before or after a performance at BAM. Sorry to see it go. Hopefully the next place will be just as accessable with good food and a complete bar.
what’s a gastropub?
*rob*
I didn’t realize Beisl closed. Food was good, but service wasn’t that nice. Still a great little neighborhood spot. You would think a family friendly “gastropub”-by thing would be better for this space.
