March 21, 2016 Restaurant/Bar News
The Wall Street Journal reports that the owners of the Dead Rabbit bar in FiDi are taking over the Harrison Room on the second floor of Pier A . They’re planning a Cuba-themed bar there called Blacktail, hoping it’ll open in June.
When the Harrison Room opened just over a year ago, here’s what I wrote:
The green industrial carpet, polished wood, green and maroon leather(-ish?) upholstery, etched glass panels, little red-shaded lamps on the bar…. No, it’s a hotel bar. It’s a university club, or—yes!—the bar at a place like the New York Athletic Club, where there’s no room for contemporary taste, or even change at all.
Suddenly, the Cuba theme doesn’t sound like such a jump, does it? Anyway, it’s great news for FiDi and Pier A. These photos are of the Harrison Room from when it debuted.
