Red Hook Tavern

"Billy Durney might as well be coined the Meat King of Red Hook. First with Hometown, his barbecue spot, and later, with Red Hook Tavern. No surprise that burger was the star here from day one. The dry-aged patty keeps it simple: American cheese, white onion, and the $30 price tag does indeed include fries." - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart, Emma Orlow

"When Red Hook Tavern opened in 2019, its burgers immediately became the talk of the town. These days, it’s a lot easier to get into the restaurant and it’s still one of the best date-night spots in South Brooklyn. Red Hook Tavern is owned by Billy Durney, of nearby Hometown, so it's no surprise the meat reigns supreme here, though the menu has other dishes to offer like pasta and French onion soup. Red Hook Tavern’s executive chef and general manager are also opening Cambodian restaurant Hōp, across the street this year — a part of the same hospitality group." - Emma Orlow

"The five-year-old Red Hook restaurant still draws a crowd for its popular burger, now served with cottage fries instead of wedges. It stays open on Mondays with a portion of its dining room set aside for walk-ins." - Melissa McCart

"Known for its juicy medium-rare burger with American cheese and raw onion, located in a remote area worth the trek."

"After a brief hiatus, Red Hook Tavern is back up and running with their excellent burgers and other things you’ll want to eat after a long day of Zooms or re-organizing your hand towels in chronological order of when you purchased them. Red Hook Tavern is only accepting pick-up and delivery orders online." - hannah albertine
