Butter & Scotch: dessert bar in Crown Heights

hmmm. They are not disclosing their address.... They were looking at Franklin Avenue:

Butter and Scotch

Okay, brace yourselves folks–you’re about to dive into some of the most impossibly cute New Brooklyn sentences ever written. Brooklyn Flea vets Keavy Landreth of Kumquat Cupcakery and Allison Kave of First Place Pies are teaming up on this craft cocktail and dessert bar. Expect a “strong dialogue between the bar and pastry kitchen,” as in seasonal ingredients that are incorporated into both sundae syrups and cocktail bitters. Look for a mini-cupcake and liqueur flight with options like chocolate lavender cupcakes and chai amaro, plus savory lunch plates and bar snacks like dark and stormy caramel corn. Phew. The duo are still in search of a space, but are targeting Franklin Avenue in hopes of a May/June opening.

....But that, clearly, did not pan out

I'd put it in that new building on Classon at Dean, somewhere near there.

Could be. But that would be a massive space. I think the LL of Beauty World is smart enough to rent to a business so established that it does not have to do Kickstarter.

How about the space at 587 Franklin, or the new storefronts at 591 Franklin?

These are both on the market.

I wish this would come to the Beauty World spot! Alas, it will probably be at the old Climax spot.

Let it be on Nostrand. Franklin is doomed with starbucks moving in.

The thing is I feel like some of these restaurants/establishments already HAVE the traditional funding, through investors, friends, savings etc but Kickstarter allows them to gain some extra investment. This is why you see a $20,000 Kickstarter make $5000 over a few weeks and then suddenly with one day to go, they've raised $20,100. I think it's fine, however these places can get in the game they should do it. Kickstarter will be tradition eventually

Yeah, Kickstarter is a good way to build early committed customers. Also to raise awareness that you're about to move in.

A clue! From their kickstarter blog on October 15th:"Lastly, we checked out another space in Crown Heights today - it's currently being fixed up, but has some great bones!!"Can any whizz-kid detectives identify that location in the photo?

Good work, Josh!This photo of the interior makes me think they won't be opening any time too soon:

As a result of selling their wares at the present Smorgasburg, I expect them to sell their wares at the new one at Berg'n

It looks like they are making lots of progress!
