Turkey’s Nest Tavern, Brooklyn

Turkey’s Nest Tavern on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn is one of the oldest #divebars in Brooklyn. In our latest YouTube video we walk around both Bedford Avenue and Berry Street and some surrounding side streets with our dog Hudson and check out all the outdoor dining spots and vintage shops & street vendors.

When we spoke with the 2nd-generation owner Steve he told us that his father named the bar Turkey’s Nest 🦃because “Turkey” was a word that he always used when introducing someone and it just stuck. Photo from 2009 and full interview with Steve appear in our book “Store Front II-A History Preserved”.
