On one of the quieter corners in Bushwick, Central Station opened their doors a little over a month ago. The space is gentle, soft-spoken, and soothing. It was originally envisioned as a spot that will appeal to those in the service industry, so they’ll keep the kitchen open late, and they’ll even have a late night happy hour.
Tequila shots chased with a lime dipped in their crazy coffee/coconut sugar concoction at 3 PM? Sure, why not, it’s summer!!!
The owners, Ray Guttierez and Peter Simon, a veteran of Fatty Cue, seemed ecstatic to be among the new summer bars that have opened up in Bushwick. In collaboration with the head chef, Lindsay King, they’ve concocted a simple but energetic menu, divided up into ‘Arrivals and Transfers’ (train humor what what). The simple decor means that the atmosphere rests on the shoulders of the staff, and every bartender I’ve encountered there has been friendly, enthusiastic, and genuine.
