Profile

Kevin Read, former barkeep at Lucky Strike, has given a post-Victorian makeover to a Park Slope hardware store, trucking in a 100-year-old bar, for this bar-restaurant inspired by his time in the townhouse gastropubs of Hempstead, London. Chef Jared King—formerly of Windows on the World, Oceana, and more recently, Peacock Alley—designed the menu of $12 to $25 entrées of roasted chicken, ravioli, seasonal stews, and a hangar steak in red-wine reduction, plus more adventurous specials made with game and organ meat. Ingredients are largely local, organic, and free-range, and during spring the patrons can be free-range too: There's a garden in the back. — Daniel Maurer
