A Duo From The Meat Hook Is Opening a New Greenpoint Bar Next Month

"The 450-square-foot spot will have food, but due to hood limitations, "no burgers and fries," Young tells Eater. It's neither a dive bar nor a cocktail bar, he says: It's a nod to the neighborhood bars he grew up with around in Pittsburgh and Haigis knew in New England. Expect beer-and-a-shot type offerings, and a "beertini" served with olives and brine - "it tastes like beer and the ocean," says Young."

"The crew behind Williamsburg restaurant Cozy Royale is opening a new Greenpoint neighborhood bar in March. The Peek Inn, at 38 Driggs Avenue at Sutton Street, comes from Brent Young of the Meat Hook and his business partner Mike Haigis, who have signed a lease on a corner space formerly occupied by Fin Du Monde. The 450-square-foot spot will have food, but due to hood limitations, "no burgers and fries," Young tells Eater."

The Peek Inn will open in March at 38 Driggs Avenue and Sutton Street in Greenpoint as a 24-seat corner bar. Brent Young and Mike Haigis signed a lease on the former Fin Du Monde space. The 450-square-foot venue will offer limited food because of hood restrictions, excluding burgers and fries, with likely items such as steamed dogs smothered in onions or topped with jalapeños. Drink offerings will emphasize neighborhood-bar classics, including beer-and-shot combos and a signature "beertini" with olives and brine. The location follows Young's other ventures including Cozy Royale and multiple butcher shops.
