Bakers Bar is Opening on 3rd Avenue – Bay Ridge

Bakers Bar will be opening at 7912 – 3rd Avenue, where JJ Bubbles used to be. The new owner spoke about the bar last Spring at a Community Board 10 Meeting. The owner said that he had a lot of updating to do in the bar, but that he was keeping the same menu.

Joe Joyce must be smiling from heaven.

Good luck to the new owner! So many people in Bay Ridge are excited for the grand opening!

Will the other 22 weed shops in the area be checked or just this one? Thank you to Andrew Gounardes for being the champion to weed smokers, but not bothering to limit the number of shops in a district.
