Roebling Inn, the eagerly anticipated new bar from the folks behind Boerum Hill’s The Brooklyn Inn, will open next Monday, December 28, and BHB got an exclusive look of what to expect at Brooklyn Heights’ newest neighborhood bar, located at 97 Atlantic Avenue.

Workers were putting some of the finishing touches today on the old Magnetic Field space in anticipation for next week’s opening. The bar will feature 16 beers on tap, with almost all of them local including Sixpoint and Kelso (the exception being Bud Light). The bar’s manager, Jason Furlani, said there would also four wines from Long Island, two red and two white.

Unlike The Brooklyn Inn, the bar has TVs (four of them) and a small bar menu including hot dogs, soft pretzels and cheese and crackers. Toward the back of Roebling Inn will be a dedicated darts space, something lacking in the neighborhood, Furlani said.

Furlani said he hoped the bar would become an “everyday bar,” with reasonable prices and lots of locals.

    Hmmm: Atlantic Avenue. Is that in Brooklyn Heights?

  2. AEB December 22, 2009 at 3:41 pm #

    PS, a “dedicated darts space.” But HOW dedicated?

    AEB: I lived above Magnetic Field and it was obvious from the quality of the patios we could see in the backyards of State Street apartments that they lived in Brooklyn Heights – and we didn’t… more like poverty-stricken Cobble Hill.

    Technically it’s Brooklyn Heights.. but anywho…. Consider this official notice that we’ll be meeting up at Roebling Monday night 12/28 at 7pm… ARE YOU WITH ME?

  5. Andrew December 22, 2009 at 4:35 pm #

    If you want to be super-pedantic (and why wouldn’t you, this IS the internet): North side of Atlantic Ave. = Brooklyn Heights, south side = Cobble HIll.

    And no more live music? Awww. I still miss Magnetic Field. I do look forward to visiting Roebling Inn next week and into the indefinite future, but it will be strange at first to be in a new and different bar at 97 Atlantic…

    Andrew, Super pedantic is par for the course in Brooklyn Heights.
    :-D

    In any case I welcome this bar! Looks promising. Brooklyn Inn is a great place so I think that bodes well for us!

    Bud Light is brewed in Newark, I believe, which is not in-borough but qualifies as local. It’s swill, but it is local.

    like the sound of the beer list. It’s cold outside and I’m thirsty!

    Peeked in yesterday on the way home from work. Looked pretty sweet. Big bar. Northside of Atlantic is definitely Brooklyn Heights…..

  11. Hicks St guy December 22, 2009 at 5:28 pm #

    wish they were replacing the Henry Stale House

    I hope that the “small bar menu” does not preclude the importing of Fatoosh or Chipshop.

  13. nabeguy December 22, 2009 at 7:46 pm #

    Great name. If you stay too long at the bar, do you get the bends?

  14. MadeInBrooklyn December 22, 2009 at 8:07 pm #

    Hicks St Guy: Why the hate for HSA? They’ve got great and inexpensive food, and a solid beer selection.

  15. nabeguy December 22, 2009 at 9:32 pm #

    MIB, in today’s world, apparently that’s not enough. A bar has to have a splash of “vibe” to satisfy the likes of HSG.

  16. cobble hall December 22, 2009 at 10:05 pm #

    it says it’s the Brooklyn Inn folks. I love that bar.

  17. Billy Reno December 23, 2009 at 12:06 pm #

    Dibs on starting a monthly comedy show there.

  18. PJL December 23, 2009 at 12:37 pm #

    I hope that there will be an exception made for Guinness….

  19. Kelvin December 23, 2009 at 12:59 pm #

    I was molested at Magnetic Fields so I have fond memories of it. Hopefully more of the same at Roebling Inn

    Darts area? Honestly. Who plays darts? Think that area could have been used better. I still welcome the place. Although the exterior looks terrible.

  21. my2cents December 23, 2009 at 3:59 pm #

    C. The darts area is to give the local douche population something to argue about whose turn it is. Every bar needs one of those.

  22. nabeguy December 23, 2009 at 6:58 pm #

    Douches and darts. Sounds like an episode of Dexter.

  23. MadeInBrooklyn December 23, 2009 at 7:14 pm #

    …and there’s already dart boards at both Brazen Head and Cody’s.

  24. El Where December 23, 2009 at 7:23 pm #

    Man.. U peeps get fixated on the stupidest things. But we’ll probably never see you at any cool bar anyway.

  25. nabeguy December 24, 2009 at 9:54 am #

    Not unless you open one, El.

  26. sue December 24, 2009 at 11:32 am #

    Come on — no comments about strollers? Santa, please, all i want for christmas is a bar that doesn’t allow strollers in brooklyn.

  27. nychas December 24, 2009 at 5:57 pm #

    Sue:

    We’ve got one and great pizza and good beer too:

    I’m excited. Bocci at Floyd, darts at Roebling Inn, Pool at Montero’s. Its the beer olympics!

  29. nabeguy December 27, 2009 at 7:21 pm #

    And they’re all within staggering distance of each other! All praise the Hops gods!

    PJL: I’m with you. If there’s an exception to be made, it should be Guinness. Who even drinks Bud Light?
