New Dairy Restaurant in Brooklyn Will Include a Shul

By COLlive reporter

More than kosher.

“Bass and Bourbon” is the newest upscale dairy restaurant to be opening in New York, providing a kosher destination in Red Hook, the industrial port section of Brooklyn, right near the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.

Planned to open next month, the new restaurant is located at 113 Hamilton Avenue in Brooklyn, NY, and has a seating capacity for 300 people with a full rooftop area with a view of the Manhattan skyline.

Bass and Bourbon is being opened by the people behind the popular Bison and Bourbon Steakhouse – owner Shneur Minsky and chef Lior Hachmon – featuring an elevated menu of fresh fish and pastas.

Minsky told COLlive.com that a unique feature of the restaurant will be an in-house Shul, perfect for those holding a bris milah ceremony and have the custom of holding it inside an actual shul.

“We will have a Sefer Torah and a full Shul so that the guests can daven there and then can have breakfast in any one of three areas in the restaurant,” says the resident of Crown Heights.

The restaurant is located right near the tunnel, with millions of cars passing by daily on the way to Manhattan. The building has a legal billboard on its rooftop, and Minsky would not give up the opportunity to make a Kiddush Hashem.

“The billboard will be used to bring a message about Shabbos to the millions who pass by the area,” Minsky says. “We will have Shabbos candle times each week displayed there.”
