Red Hook Tavern

Billy Durney’s Hometown Bar-B-Que has set the gold standard for smoky meats since 2013. The Red Hook favorite now has a sibling—a New York tavern with comfortable seating and a pressed tin ceiling. Meats continue to be a specialty, including the standout dry-aged hamburger cloaked in American cheese and the pan-roasted chicken with gravy; the romaine wedge salad, meanwhile, is topped with a slab of bacon. Pescatarians can opt for the terrific littleneck clams or grilled, garlicky prawns.
