The Highbury Pub Gets Closer To Opening

Neighbor Jill tipped us off that Highbury Pub (1002 Cortelyou Road on the corner of Coney Island Avenue) just got a big red bench installed outside, so we thought we’d go over and take a look today. Turns out the establishment’s request for a liquor license was actually granted just yesterday, and much of the bar and seating has already been installed.

In addition to the stools at the bar, the pub will have three or four tables for lounging in the back of the space. The owner of the building, who was conveniently there at the same time we were, says the bar should open “any day now”–but we’re not so sure. Keep an eye out, though, and we will too!
