Father Knows Best
Opened by Chris Taha and Colleen Makary (respectively, the owner and former manager of Williamsburg’s Summers Juice and Coffee), the bar is long and narrow in the front, with a full garage door that can be pulled up to let in sunlight and foot traffic during the day, when it functions as a coffee shop and restaurant. At night, it transitions into a full bar and club space, complete with a communal table that can be folded up to create a stage for live music, and a built-in DJ enclave tucked behind that. The bar also features a full wooden deck and patio outside, where Taha says he envisions throwing free community yoga classes in nice weather.
