We’ve been fans of 61 Local since it opened. If our ice cream could become a bar in Brooklyn - this would be it. The public house in Cobble Hill features local products, such as Salvatore Bklyn Ricotta (the same ricotta that’s in Strawberry Ricotta), KBBK Kombucha on tap (the same kombucha we freeze to make our Frozen ‘Buch), Sixpoint Beer (hint hint: future flavor in the works here we hope!) and the list of local food and drink offered here goes on.
Did we mention the space is beautiful? A true neighborhood feel - communal tables, events that highlight the connection between food and community, and they’re a pick up location for the Local Roots CSA that starts in June (PS it’s not to late to sign up!).
It also happens to be run by the nicest guy we’ve ever met - more about him HERE.
Long story short, we love this place. So when they became the first restaurant/bar to serve our ice cream it was a truly exciting, validating, and proud moment:
One the menu: Steve’s Bourbon Vanilla Ice Cream in a Beer Float. You pick the beer.
We like to drop by and try the float with different beers as 61 Local’s menu of craft beers on draft changes. If anything, it’s a great excuse to hang out at our favorite neighborhood bar… not that we need one
