Lotta Burg news these days… and all right in my little pocket of the hood.  I just saw this today and wondered what was going on there.  Very exciting!

Joe Carroll, the man behind Williamsburg drinking emporia Spuyten Duyvil and Fette Sau, is close to opening his third, slightly-hard-to-pronounce Brooklyn drinkery, St. Anselm.  St. Anselm, located right next door to beer bar Spuyten Duyvil, at 355 Metropolitan Avenue, was supposed to open last November, but has been delayed. Carroll said he expected it to be unveiled next month.

St. Anselm will be more food oriented than its neighbor. “It will be a mix of high-brow, low-brow stuff. We’re doing burgers and dogs and also doing old school diner, blue-plate special things.  A lot of offal, a lot of organ meat dishes, and a pretty sizable wine list. We’re trying to do something simliar in wine to what we do at Spuyten Duyvil with beer.”

They’re be a diner with stools in the space. A peek inside revealed a charmingly roughhewn look made of hand-cut wood, creating wavy, layered designs on the ceiling and a kind of country-fence look along the counter.

Thanks for the tip!
