The East Village outpost of Craft+Carry will have a soft opening today at 116 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue...



Craft+Carry, which also has locations in the DeKalb Market (since June 2017) and on Third Avenue (September 2017) in Gramercy Park, sells several hundred varieties of craft bottles and cans to take home... there's also a small bar with a rotating batch of taps and free Skee-Ball. (Among the other amenities: the Crowler machine, which employees can draft beer for customers at the bar, and homebrew equipment and recipe kits.)

The recently renovated storefront previously belonged to a Ukrainian religious organization.

The owners of Craft+Carry plan to open a new location of their craft beer shop at 116 Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue. They will appear before CB3's SLA committee tonight for a new liquor license for the address, which was recently renovated into a retail space.

According to the application on the CB3 website (PDF here), the proposed hours are 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. daily. The questionnaire shows the space will have a six-seat bar and a counter to accommodate four more people.

New retail space hits the market at 116 St. Mark's Place

The ground-floor space at No. 116 between Avenue A and First Avenue Avenue recently arrived on the market.

The listing notes that the 900-square-feet of space (plus 500 square feet out back) is "Perfect for Cafe, Wine Bar, etc. All uses considered. Landlord will vent."

The retail listing coincides with the sale of the building, which was recorded on May 25. Public records show that the seller, 116 Saint Marks Place LLC, sold the five-story building to 116 St. Marks LLC for $5 million. (The buyer shares the address with Cecora Investment Advisers, a diversified commercial real estate investment brokerage and consulting company.)

The potential retail was (or is) home to a Ukrainian religious organization, which you can read about here (keep scrolling).
