The Brooklyn Star to "Recoup and Reopen" After Fire

photo via loaded questions
The Brooklyn Star will be shutting down for a few months to “recoup” following a fire in the building. The restaraunt itself doesn’t appear to be burned, but reports say firefighters had to cut a hole in the roof and there is debris in the kitchen. Joaquin Baca, chef/owner of southern-style joint told Eater it will reopen and that no one was hurt.
Update: A message on its website says: “UNFORTUNATELY WE SUFFERED SOME DAMAGE FROM A FIRE ON FEBRUARY 16TH. WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR A SPELL PENDING RECONSTRUCTION. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THE PAST AND HOPE TO SERVE YOU AGAIN REAL SOON.”
Thanks Liza for the tip!






I was there after the fire and the restaurant needs a little fix up. Ill be back once it opens. The owner said about 1 month.
