In 2013, we didn't just open a bar. We set out to change the conversation.
For too long, The Bronx has been defined by outdated stereotypes. Born and raised in The Bronx, we know the truth: our borough is a place of vibrancy, culture, and resilience. We wanted to build a venue that reflected that. We wanted a place where the community could gather, break bread, and raise a glass to the borough we love.
We found our home inside the historic Arthur Avenue Retail Market. Surrounded by the sights and smells of New York's 'Real Little Italy,' we created a space that blends the market's old-world charm with the energy of a modern New York beer hall.
What started as a 'cross-cultural experiment' with two Puerto Rican brothers selling New York craft beer in an Italian market has become a community staple. It's a place where locals mix with tourists, where the beer is always cold, and where The Bronx is always celebrated.
