A $35 beer at Red Hook's newest bar, Botanica



From my NewYorkology Twitter feed last night:

just ordered fancy 10 dollar cocktails at brand new bar Botanica, two blocks from Sunnys on Conover in Red Hook

husband ordered Death in the Afternoon: champagne, absinthe and san bitters

There's a 35 dollar beer on the menu, albeit for a 25 ouncer

Cocktails were indeed good - and extremely potent.

This place went in fast, as I think renovations on the place started in June, maybe even early July. While we were there, nearly every car that drove by inched to a crawl as the drivers craned there necks to see what had just opened.

It's located at the corner of Conover and Coffey, map -- directly next to one of the last stops of the B77 bus (since the B77 now extends to Beard for Ikea service.)
