Ask most drinks writers to name their favorite New York City bar, and chances are you’ll hear the same answer: The Long Island Bar. Established by Toby Cecchini and Joel Tompkins, the Cobble Hill bar is an institution, but the story of how they finally opened this now-iconic spot is far more complicated than its easygoing vibe suggests. And it’s complete with notes slipped under doors, late-night window peeping, and a perfectly timed chance encounter.
Today on “The Buildout” podcast, Adam sits down with Toby and Joel to unpack how this beloved Brooklyn bar almost never happened, and what gives it its enduring magic. Tune in for more.
