Even when Chef Fernando isn’t around the bar will have snacks from Mama’s Empanadas (made in Corona, Queens) as well as free freshly-made popcorn from an old-timey popcorn machine. “He has this bourbon-brown-butter rice-krispy treat that changed my life,” she added with a laugh.Ĭhef Fernando, as he’s called, will set up shop on one of the venue’s two hardwood stages, and be serving up food for the entire weekend. Tonight will mark the first collaboration with Strohmeyer, whose menu channels “a Puerto Rican twist on standards, like pulled pork sloppy Joes,” Regan told us. In addition to serving creations like the Gin Lizzy (Dorothy Parker gin, Campari, and lemon) or the Jumpin’ Jack Flash (whiskey over ice with a Down East Cider float and a splash of bitters), Ploe will be focusing on suds from local breweries. Although the bar and events space officially opened its doors July 22, owner Laura Regan said the long-awaited addition of liquor will allow them to serve some specialty cocktails, created and mixed by the capable hands of bar manager Steven Ploe.
