Prime Meats

It's no surprise that everything about Prime Meats is flawless, after all the owners Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli are the master minds behind Frankies Spuntino, Cafe Pedlar and the new Red Hook Stumptown Roastry.  As you walk in, you are transported to another era, when times were simpler, ingredients were locally sourced and classic cocktails were mixed impeccably.  Sweet smells of Stumptown coffee and Vermont Maple Syrup linger and the voice of Gram Parson on vinyl set the mood.  
The dark wood booths, circa 1890 bar and soft glow of the Edison bulbs make this the ultimate Brooklyn Sunday brunch spot.  
As if this wasn't enough there are plans for an adjacent dining, garden and....shhhh a speak-easy bar upstairs! YES you heard us right.
Oh and did we mention the bloody? A perfect blend of fresh seasonal ingredients (yes the tomatoes are from Jersey), a hint of  spice and curried cauliflower as garnish.  This just may be the best beverage of the new year. 


 As for the food, it follows a central European theme and will not disappoint. Prime Meats is becoming known for the butchering and curing that is all done in-house along with the mustard, rillettes, pates and sausages.  
We choose the the trout salad and the egg/cheese biscuit with thick cut bacon. Both were tasty, although we guarantee after one luscious taste of the buttery biscuit and a long sip of the Mary you will be..... in love
