Bartender of twenty years and first time entrepreneur Michael Lombardozzi is set to open his new tiki bar in Bushwick, Dromedary Bar, hopefully by mid-December.
Previously a catering hall called Equinoxia, Dromedary Bar is located at 266 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, and will have neighbors in Lucy’s Vietnamese Kitchen, Pizza Party, and Boobie Trap. Noting that seventy to ninety percent of the menu will be tiki influenced, Dromedary will be offering a less traditional take on tiki.
“Calling it a tiki bar locks you in with what you can do,” Michael says, which is why he wants you to use the prefixes of urban or non-traditional instead. Like, they might have Budweiser on tap, and they may or may not want to serve you a cricket (not alive guys, chill out) atop a deviled egg. A bit down the road, Michael pictures offering tickets for Monday Movie Nights + dinner with post-movie trivia and, yes, prizes! Sounds like a pretty solid Monday date night to keep in your back pocket.
