It may be winter outside, but step into
Bar San Miguel, Carroll Gardens' new Mexican eatery at
307 Smith Street, and enjoy the wonderful warm atmosphere created by partners Jim Cramer, Lisa Detweiler and Regina Myers, who also owns
Black Mountain Winehouse and
Union Grounds in the neighborhood.
Expect no Texmex food here. The decor, the menu, as well as the drinks are traditional Mexican and inspired by
San Miguel DeAllende, a city in central Mexico, where Cramer and Detweiler own a home.
As Regina Myers, explained to me, the bar is an attempt to "bring a bit of Mexico home with them, so that they can feel as though they are on vacation all the time."
In so doing, they have succeeded in creating a great place for everyone else to relax, share a drink and enjoy some simple, fresh food at reasonable prices.
So stop by. Bar San Miguel is now open.
