Craft beer, cocktails, and elevated bar snacks in a rustic space
"A '90s-inspired neighborhood bar created by the same ownership group and described as being located across the street from the team's Brush Park restaurant; it was launched by the chef pair alongside partners Will Lee and Michael Gray as one of several complementary ventures." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Across the street from a Brush Park restaurant, the bar is running The Second Best Christmas Ever series throughout December, featuring advent calendar–inspired cocktail specials, Christmas Carol-aoke on Dec. 17, and the 6th annual Ugly Sweater Party on Dec. 23." - Courtney Burk
"Smoked not once, but twice. That’s what you’ll taste when you order the Double Smoked Old Fashioned at Brush Park watering hole, Second Best, thanks to the addition of smoked Demerara sugar. It’s a tasty twist on the classic: a sentiment mirrored on the anything-but-traditional menu of bar snacks ranging from the Party Store Sub (cold cuts, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Giardiniera honey mustard); to Buttermilk Donut Holes with candied hazelnuts, strawberry, white chocolate mousse, and espresso gelato." - Vox Creative
"Staffing realities and the instability of pandemic-era benefits have hit employees hard: a bartender who contracted COVID days before the holiday rush missed crucial shifts, could not access unemployment assistance after federal and state extensions ended, and now juggles childcare with an uncertain income, illustrating the financial precarity faced by front-line hospitality workers." - Mickey Lyons
"This Midtown bar is hosting a Big Game party featuring $6 Coor’s Light pitchers, food specials and a raffle featuring a 50-inch LED TV, a Coor’s Light branded grill and cooler. The game will be aired on the spot’s 9-foot big screen TV." - Serena Maria Daniels
