Red Hook Bait & Tackle, Brooklyn, NYC

The popular #divebar on Van Brunt Street closed on January 27, 2018 after a farewell party and chili cook-off. The owner, Barry O’Meara was forced to close the bar after 14 years in business due to the area’s “different financial demographics” and the fact that he was faced with a rent hike. We loved its #handpainted #signage and are sure that it will be missed.
