Owners of Cobble Hill’s Long Island Bar open new spot in Fort Greene
The two restaurateurs who reopened the Long Island Bar on Atlantic Avenue in 2013, have now opened a new bar and restaurant in Fort Greene.
This time, according to the Brooklyn Paper, the duo, Joel Tompkins and Toby Cecchini, have built their new eatery from the ground up. Tompkins describes the interior of the new bar, known as Rockwell Place, as being “sort of an industrial modern space with furniture touches from the 1950s and 1960s.”
Tompkins described the menu at Rockwell Place as being more haute cuisine than that at the Long Island Bar, the Brooklyn Paper said. For example, Rockwell Place doesn’t serve burgers and fries.
