Red Hook Bar Fort Defiance Is Finally Slinging Cocktails After Year-Long Wait for a Liquor License - Eater NY
"Grub Street reports that Red Hook stalwart Fort Defiance has finally reopened after two years in the way that bartending legend St. John Frizell always hoped for: with drinks. The laid-back neighborhood cornerstone, where Frizell — who also co-owns Downtown Brooklyn’s Gage & Tollner — became known for mixing upscale, critically acclaimed cocktails, has been in a constant state of flux during the pandemic. There was a relocation, a pivot to groceries, and a year-long wait for a liquor license." - Erika Adams
