Sean Josephs, former Owner Of Char No.4, At Travel Bar For Tasting Of His Pinhook Bourbon And Rye

Tonight, get on over to Travel Bar at 520 Court Street, is hosting a special tasting. In addition to the more than two hundred Whiskies offered at this wonderful local place, the bar has just added Pinhook, Bourbon and Rye.

Pinhook is the new venture of Sean Josephs, who many in the neighborhood will remember as the former owner of the very popular Char No. 4, which closed in 2015 and is still very much missed in Brooklyn. Jospehs will be at Travel Bar from 8-9pm for a tasting of his Whiskies and Travel Bar will offer $8 Pinhook cocktails from 8pm-Midnight.

Perhaps we can't get Char back, but having Josephs present his Bourbon and Rye in "neighborhood whiskey loving establishment", is definitely second best.

Smith Street Officially Turning Into Bourbon Street

After sitting empty for a long time, the store front at 196 Smith Street is about to become a whiskey and B.B.Q. Joint. Char 4 will open on September 15th. The establishment is supposedly going to offer about 150 types of whiskey.
Oh, great! More booze on Smith Street.
Pardon me for asking, but am I the only one who is fed up with the proliferation of drinking establishments in the neighborhood. Someone should take a survey of how many liquor licenses have been issued on the little strip between Atlantic Avenue to Carroll Street in the last few years.
Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate the fact that Smith Street has undergone a revival, but at the same time, I am resentful that there seems to be such an emphasis on drinking establishments. Beer gardens, cocktail lounges, whiskey bars.... Smith Street is becoming Bourbon Street.
