NOT YOUR FATHERS BAR 〰️ OUR STORY 〰️

WE ARE A NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT, CAFE, BAR, AND WORKSPACE LOCATED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN IN NEW YORK CITY. IT'S A PLACE WHERE NEIGHBORS MEET NEIGHBORS, COLLABORATE, AND MAKE COOL SHIT HAPPEN.

WE HAVE EVENTS HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY NIGHT, FROM KARAOKE TO TRIVIA TO DJ'S AND LIVE MUSIC. OUR BRUNCH IS VOTED "BEST IN BROOKLYN".

THE NAME FATHER KNOWS BEST HAS A SPECIAL MEANING FOR THE OWNER. IT ALL BEGAN WHEN HE WAS FLIPPING THROUGH A BOOK TITLED "FIELD GUIDE TO BROOKLYN" AND STUMBLED UPON THE CHAPTER TITLE "FATHER KNOWS BEST." THE NAME STUCK WITH HIM AND, WHEN HE RETURNED HOME TO BUSHWICK AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THE SPACE, HE DECIDED TO NAME IT FATHER KNOWS BEST.

BUT THE NAME HAS A DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE OWNER. IT'S A TRIBUTE TO HIS CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS OWN FATHER, WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOURCE OF LIFE AND BUSINESS ADVICE. HIS FATHER OWNED HIS OWN RESTAURANT WHERE THE OWNER GREW UP IN.

WE HOPE THAT, WHEN YOU VISIT FATHER KNOWS BEST, YOU'LL FEEL THE WARMTH AND CARE THAT WENT INTO CHOOSING OUR NAME. IT'S A REFLECTION OF THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WE VALUE, BOTH WITHIN OUR OWN FAMILY AND WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
