Carmine's Sports Bar

This venue is expected to open fall 2013. Carmine Gangone will expand his family-run Williamsburg pizzeria—opened by his Salerno-born pop in ’79—to include a next-door sports bar. Sharing a kitchen, the brick-laden lounge will feature the same Italian dishes (thin-crust Grandma slices, sopressata-stuffed calzones, baked ziti) as the pizza parlour, along with bar-menu staples (burgers, wings) and wood-fired gourmet pies (Philly cheese steak, buffalo chicken). The 21-foot-long bar will have ten beers on tap (Brooklyn Lager, Budweiser) and happy-hour specials such as half off drafts and beer-and-slice combos. The 3,000-square-foot venue is decorated with wine-barrel tables, French doors, wooden booths and 13 flatscreens broadcasting games—the house roots for the Yanks. Early November.
