Charlies Bar & Kitchen

With its old-world, exposed-brick and wood interior, New American cuisine, and creative cocktails, this homey brunch, dinner, and drinks destination feels like the transformation of Mott Haven in a nutshell. Housed in the lobby of the renovated Clocktower Building, once a piano factory, the restaurant maintains a playfulness, especially at brunchtime, when there's live music on Sunday. Look on the walls for irreverent portraits of famous Charles and Charlies, including Barkley, Darwin, Chaplin, and Brown, to name a few.

Charlies has called the historic, landmark Clock Tower building in Mott Haven home since 2012. While food is predominantly modern American with Southern flair, plenty of other cultural twists are sampled throughout the menu (see the jerk chicken or spaghetti pomodoro). And the cocktail menu has just as many interesting options, like Rumble In The Bronx, made with rum, passion fruit, lime juice, agave, and mint -- which goes perfectly with the punchy, sweet CBK wings.

The pro-breakfast-for-lunch crowd will delight over Charlie’s “permanent brunch” (available seven days a week), which includes a $22 90-minute bottomless cocktail option. Menu selections are simple and straightforward—think standards like pancakes, omeletes, steak & eggs—but are also rich with flavor and soul.

Charlie’s Bar & Kitchen has mastered the art of the boozy brunch. Cheesy chorizo-spotted shrimp and grits, smothered chicken and waffles, and fan-favorite biscuits are washed down with the bar’s speciality cocktails, which feature unique add-ins such as Thai-chili-spiced agave, cucumber and lychee.

Charlie’s, in Mott Haven, serves what is essentially overachieving bar food. They have things like burgers, fish tacos, and artichoke dip, as well as a bunch of alcohol, including pitchers of margaritas. Call 718-684-2338 for pickup, or order delivery online.
