Pig Beach is an exciting new foray into the smoked meat universe, unlike anything in New York City to date. We experiment with tried and true BBQ techniques, adding worldly influences and forward thinking cooking. Local purveyors, sustainable seafood and market-fresh produce is our standard. Pig Beach is also a destination for contemporary cocktails and wine. We focus on local breweries and distilleries, serving up several local beers and wines on tap as well as a classically based, but inventive cocktail repertoire. We feel that with our mixture of a new approach to BBQ, an elevated beverage program, paired with our individual New York City histories, Pig Beach will quickly become a part of Brooklyn DNA.
