The Buttery Bar

"A Brooklyn New American restaurant in Greenpoint, closed due to economic challenges. Known for pop-up beginnings, book events, and trivia nights." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Hiding on the East side of McGuinness Ave. Selamat Pagi has a fresh take on Indonesian food. With the menu changing seasonally there is always something new to try. Whether you're looking for something new or a fresh spin on something already familiar, the food here will satisfy your needs. The portions are a little small, but the flavors definitely are not." - Milkshake

"This Greenpoint spot feels like a cool library, except you’re allowed to eat, drink, and talk as loud as you want. If you and your date are into goblins, gargoyles, and/or dark academia vibes, you’ll really like The Buttery Bar. If you like not-boring seasonal food and unusual wine and beer lists, you’ll positively love it. Come here for funky pet-nats, elevated salads substantial enough to be meals unto themselves, and some of the best desserts this side of the East River. The booth seating is perfect for a romantic tête-à-tête. " - carina finn koeppicus

It’s perfect for a lowkey date, a catch-up with friends, or a brunch that has food you’ll actually want to eat (think: tres leches french toast) and booze too sophisticated to be bottomless. If The Buttery Bar sounds pretentious, you’ve got the wrong idea. It’s giving Indie Sleaze Academic in all the right ways." - Carina Finn

"What began as a pop-up last winter at the now-shuttered Selamat Pagi has blossomed into a permanent restaurant at the site." - Emma Orlow
