New Bar/Restaurant Coming to PLG: Midwood Flats

mugofmead111 · September 2014

Maybe we can have a Brooklynian meetup at Midwood Flats after it opens. (Maybe invite the Q!)

@mugofmead -

Make it happen! Pick a two or three weeks from now so we can advertise it lots and, by then the owners will have worked out the kinks in the service or the beer lines..

I actually stopped by this evening once I got off at Prospect Park just to scope the place out. I guess people can congregate in the back.

I noticed that the chalkboard over the bar was blank. No names, no prices, nothing. Weird.

The gathering would probably be on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, just so you know. Stay tuned.

Yes, it seems like a suitable meeting place for the Fall 2014 Gathering.

My bizarre background includes catering, which allows me to know that activating 24 draft lines is something that a mere bar owner is not capable of. The individual lines run through a refrigerated larger tube, which keeps them cool for the entire distance.

When one runs a 24 lines to the basement, it is more complicated than buying a keg in college and splurging for the kegerator C02 kit.

Sorry I missed you w/n; I was only there from about 6:00–7:30. If there's a Brooklynian gathering at Midwood Flats I'll definitely go. I live just a block away on Midwood II.

Yeah, we only have 2 beers on tap in our apartment and it was a bigger process than expected ... and there is little distance for the tubing to go.

Today's vocabulary word is "glycol"

Yeah, this is why when we use commercial kegs we get more head than we want -- which is another reason to brew your own.

Midwood Flats is one of several bars and restaurants owned by the same LLC.

Centanni on Franklin Ave is among their properties.

Despite this, they don't have staff that can install this equipment.

The build out costs for Midwood Flats might be around $400k. They are not a mom and pop.

Checked it out for the first time on Saturday. I didn't have any food, but the place itself is great. There is clearly huge demand for a bar like this in PLG as the place was packed when I showed up around 9. Got a little more comfortable after the dinner crowd finished around 10, but most seats were still taken at midnight. I'll be back to try the food, hopefully soon.
