Orion Bar opened its doors on Suydam Street earlier this summer, bringing nuanced, yet approachable Korean-American fare to Bushwick’s Central Avenue corridor – an area already home to mainstays like Maite and Nenes. It’s run by married couple Nick Dodge and Irene Yoo. Dodge used to oversee the bar program at the Nitehawk Cinema locations in both Williamsburg and Park Slope, and Yoo had been running a Korean-American food popup in Williamsburg and Crown Heights since 2015 called Yooeating. They are making their debut together at Orion, which they’ve turned into a compelling tribute to Korean and American culinary and drinking cultures and the way that they can seamlessly blend together.
