"Bar Beau closed in August after a five-year run; at the time, owner Claire Chan announced that she was keeping the space to flip it into a bar. Called Mr. Melo, the bar advertises a state-of-the-art sound system, and a menu featuring bites described as “new Greek,” including a feta brine martini. For her new venture, Chan is joined by co-owners Nikolas Vagenas and Nate Ulsh, who both worked at Bar Meridian in Prospect Heights, among other cocktail bars across the city. The bar opens on Friday, December 15 at 61 Withers Street, at Lorimer Street." - Luke Fortney
