Chippy's Fish & Chips is opening in the former Proletariat space on 7th Street

The former home of Proletariat on Seventh Street will become Chippy's Fish & Chips later this summer. 

While the concept had previously been reported on the Outpost Substack, the location had remained a bit of a mystery, with the restaurant's Instagram account only dropping clues about being "across from a church," etc. 

Multiple sources confirmed to EVG that Chippy's is taking over the space at 21 E. Seventh St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square. The restaurant comes from Ed Szymanski and Patricia Howard of Lord's, Dame and Crevette, along with Szymanski's brother-in-law Evan Baldwin. 

According to Chippy's Instagram account, the menu will feature fried fish, triple-cooked chips and mushy peas. 

The team also plans to apply for a beer license. 
As previously reported, Proletariat — the longtime craft beer bar from Overthrow Hospitality — closed last month after a 14-year run in the neighborhood.
