DINING: Pedro’s Kitchen and Brew
With a relaxed, yet date-night-worthy, vibe, Pedro’s Kitchen and Brew has merged classic, authentic Mexican cuisine with urban cool. From the artwork and dim-yet-warm lighting to the freshly homemade food and live weekend salsa music, the place is a welcome spot to get away from the work week and have a good time.
Walk up to the doors at 1 Hope Street and you are greeted with colorful murals by popular Brooklyn street artist Craig Anthony Miller, whose imagery here is meant to evoke Aztec designs. The visual theme continues when you enter the restaurant, with more handpainted art along the edge of the fully-stocked bar.
According to owner Dante Delamos, the goal was to create an authentic yet modern atmosphere that complements the authentic yet modern food.
