New Cats Cafe Branches Out To Bay Ridge, But Plans To Rebuild In Sheepshead Bay (Updated)

UPDATED (5:11 p.m.): Or maybe not! We just heard from Alex Gerts, a representative for New Cats Cafe, who informed us that they have every intention of reopening the 2027 Emmons Avenue location.

“We’re not giving up on Sheepshead Bay, we love Sheepshead Bay,” Gerts said. “This is where we started and we’re going to do the right thing.”

Club Cats, as the name suggests is a nightclub. New Cats Cafe, Gerts pointed out, was and will again be a restaurant.

Fine. Be that way.

Superstorm Sandy has scratched another business off the landscape of Sheepshead Bay. The New Cats Cafe, formally of 2027 Emmons Avenue in the Loehmanns Building, is never returning to Sheepshead Bay, according to their Facebook page.

They were flooded out by Sandy and have relocated to 10007 Fourth Avenue in Bay Ridge.

The New Cats Cafe is taking over a club spot previously named Amnesia, much to the suspicion of local residents long frustrated with Amnesia’s loud music and party atmosphere. They’re dubbing the spot Club Cats.

“Club Cats? It sounds like a strip club,” an anonymous Bay Ridge resident told the Brooklyn Paper.

The cafe celebrated their grand reopening this past Friday.
