You may now pig out at BarBacon on 4th Avenue

BarBacon has debuted at 127 Fourth Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street ... an EVG reader shared this photo from last evening.

This is the second NYC location (the other is on Ninth Avenue near 55th Street) for the bacon-centric bar-restaurant that celebrates the whole hog with swine-spiked menu items and drinks. You can find their "chef-driven bacon dishes" here.

This Fourth Avenue space was previously Royal, the lounge-pub place that closed in April 2016.

BarBacon signage recently arrived on the front door of 127 Fourth Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street... where the proprietors of the bacon-centric bar-restaurant in Hell's Kitchen are looking to expand their business ... there's a CB3 notice up in the window as well for a yet-to-be-scheduled SLA committee meeting for a new liquor license...



As you may recall, BarBacon was looking at opening in 171 Avenue A between 10th Street and 11th Street late last year. However, BarBacon withdrew from December's CB3-SLA committee meeting. And apparently the BarBaconers decided on a different location.

In any event, here's more about BarBacon, which has an outpost on Ninth Avenue: "Bacon flights & other swine-spiked grub served in a gastropub setting with a large bar." (Read more about the place here.)

This Fourth Avenue space, now chopped into two storefronts, was previously the bar Royal until April 2016...

The proprietors of BarBacon are getting a head start on CB3's SLA committee meeting for December... paperwork is up in the front window at 171 Avenue A between 10th Street and 11th Street...



In case you don't dine on swine, here's more about BarBacon, which has an outpost on Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen: "Bacon flights & other swine-spiked grub served in a gastropub setting with a large bar." (Read more about the place here.)

The meeting notices and applications aren't live just yet at the CB3 website. However, the paperwork on the door shows that the owners plan to use the hotly contested backyard patio.

The previous tenants here, both Chao Chao and Soothsayer, as well as B.A.D. Burger, were unable to secure a full-liquor license or back-patio usage.

CB3 had this to say in denying Soothsayer's full-liquor request:

"[T]he applicant proposed using the backyard area for dining, although no certificate of occupancy was provided to demonstrate the legality of the commercial use of the backyard and there had been numerous complaints from residents regarding commercial use of backyards in this neighborhood."

See the comments for an update from CB3 District Manager Susan Stetzer. The meeting location has NOT been confirmed for December.
