Vegan Bar Opens

Pine Box Rock Shop, a vegan-friendly bar featuring numerous draft beer options and seasonal cocktails, has opened in Brooklyn. The bar features vegan bar snacks such as pretzels and nuts, along with vegan empanadas from the vegan V-Spot restaurant and retailer, also located in Brooklyn. Homemade vegan Irish Cream is offered from owners Jeff and Heather Rush, both vegan, and the seasonal menu includes cocktails such as Dig For Fire, a spicy drink featuring Brooklyn-grown chili peppers. The cocktails are named after some of the owners’ friends, both human and companion animal. The bar will host live music as well as art exhibits, karaoke, and trivia nights.
