Father Knows Best is a modern, chill bar and restaurant in the back streets of Bushwick, NY that knows what goes into a great brunch menu.
By day, Father Knows Best is a cafe and brunch destination offering delicious breakfast/lunch options like the lumber dad breakfast with eggs, a tasty potato cake, dank pancakes (chocolate vegan pancakes), and the choice of roasted tomatoes or spicy pork patty or the Mushroom Hash with crispy potatoes, smoked oyster mushrooms, avocado, arugula, and pickled beets. On Sundays from 12, they offer a jazz brunch with a live band.
This former garage is decked out in modern reclaimed wood furnishings, the walls covered in colorful paintings by local artists.
By night, the space becomes a bar and venue with live music on some nights and trivia on Wednesdays. Amongst the drinks list is typical hipster beers like PBR and Texas’ Lone Star beer and a cocktail list needing at least a few seatings to get through the must-trys.
In the summer months, you can take advantage of the back courtyard which although not quite a beer garden in scale, is still an experience you don’t see too much of back on Manhattan. And unlike the middle of the city, you get a generous serve for a decent price. which makes it worth the trek on the L when catching up with Brooklyn friends.
As New York residents, Bernie and Jess have a range of incredible local places to try or to add to your New York travel itinerary ideas here.
