CB3's SLA committee last night approved a new liquor license application for the owners of Triona's, an Irish bar with two locations in the city
(Sullivan Street and Third Avenue), who are taking over Croxley Ales at 28-30 Avenue B.
The
application notes that this is a sale of assets.
There wasn't too much debate over the applicants. There weren't any objections from the East 4th Street Avenues A-B Block Association, who gad met with the applicants earlier this year ... and no one was at the meeting to speak out against the applicants.
The yet-to-be-be-named establishment (Triona's on B is a possibility) will have hours of noon to 4 a.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The menu is "traditional American-Irish comfort food," with fish and chips, burgers, etc. The full menu will be available at the bar in the No. 28 space as well as the sit-down portion at No. 30. (Croxley expanded into this adjacent
space in 2013.) This Triona's will include 20 TVs, about the same number as Croxley Ales.
There wasn't any mention of when the transition from Croxley Ales to Triona's might occur. (This item was originally on
the June CB3-SLA docket, but one of the Triona owners had to cancel due to an undisclosed emergency, per the paperwork with the application.)
Croxley Ales has six locations in the metropolitan area,
opening the first outpost on Long Island in 1990. The East Village location opened here between Second Street and Third Street in 2003.
Last night's committee meeting was held in a 17th-floor event space at Ian Schrager's new Public Hotel on Chrystie Street. The views are nice.
