Opening: Mid-October
Why You should Care: Opening in a semi-out of the way, semi-industrial spot in Greenpoint, this combo restaurant/beer garden/brewery named for Greenpoint's first settler is serving up their own beers from Chris Prout (an award-winning home brewer) and American eats from a rotisserie wall in a part garage, part chandeliered beer hall with bonus views of the Manhattan skyline.
