Opened just in time for the height of al fresco dining, Loosie’s Kitchen is a strong contender for Brooklyn’s best summer restaurant. Landed like a breath of fresh air in South Williamsburg just by the bridge, the New Orleans-inspired hotspot has a ridiculously good-looking patio you’ll want to spend all your evenings on.
The ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ entrance on South 6th street is a flower-lined walkway leading you to a quintessential California courtyard with whitewashed walls and bright geometric designs. The elevated dining area is decked with communal picnic tables and plenty of leafy plants.
Looks familiar to you? It used to be Fatty ‘Cue, and you’ll find a few remaining items, like that pig chandelier in the corner.
Food-wise, expect Southern cuisine with a few twists and all the usual fried chicken, blackened catfish and oysters such a place beckons. You’ll want to wash it all down with one of their creative cocktails, like the spicy ‘Hurry-cane’ – banana-infused rum, spiced passion fruit, clarified lemon juice and coconut water.
