Enid's held down 560 Manhattan Avenue for twenty years before Bar Bruno took the room and then closed. Greenpoint Fish & Lobster's answer was to restore the original Enid's exterior paint and name the place for Bar Matchless, the dive that stood across the street until 2023. It is a bar built entirely out of what Greenpoint has already lost, which is a very Greenpoint thing to do.
What to expect
Sixteen-dollar cocktails, pan-seared shrimp, steak frites and a burger under Gruyere, caramelized onion sauce, pickled onions and matchstick potatoes. A late-night menu is planned, along with a disco ball, DJ sets and a dance floor once the room finds its footing.
