Pinkerton Wine Bar is officially open, taking over the old N.6 spot.  While the winebar might look the same, Pinkerton is only serving Wine and Beer with hopes to have small plates in the future. The interior and layout looks pretty similar except for new window treatments – which makes the place feel a lot more open – and emphasis on mood lighting.    The spot is quite romantic and off the beaten path so if you are looking for a mini-escape of the chaotic Bedford Ave. with your beau, this might the place for you.

I’ll be interested to see how this place does.  N6 was open for six years but never really took off in the way I hoped it would- and they served wine, beer, and food (although their hours were a little weird.)  I might be bias because the Bamonte’s are good family friends of mine, but I am still at a loss for a new brunch spot.  N6 Brunch was the BEST. Anyways – best of luck to Pinkerton.

On a side note: the landlord of 52 Havemeyer, the building Pâtés et Traditions is located, passed away last week.  No word on if her family will take over the building or not – if the building gets sold, Pâtés et Traditions’ rent could skyrocket – or the new owners could even decide to tear down the building.   You never know with the ever changing neighborhood of Williamsburg.
