We’re happy to report the return of one of Brooklyn’s hottest spots, The Springs, which is located in the Greenpoint section of the popular borough. This is the spot soak up the sun, chill, and sip on delicious frozen cocktails. The Springs not only has an outdoor space but an expansive bar and lounge. On the night of our visit, we enjoyed the newly renovated patio. This area was inspired by retro vibes of Palm Springs circa the 1950s with lounge style seating and rainbow-colored decor. Although inspiration comes from the west coast, the vibes of The Springs remains true to Brooklyn and its edginess.
Inside The Springs, the light open space is designed with large U-shaped Pistachio-colored leather banquets, eclectic tables, chairs and couches along with a long bar with 16 seats. The indoors truly takes you back in time and the vibe in there is timeless.
Let’s talk about food! Executive Chef Natalie Mitchell brings her new food truck concept, Desert Hideaway, to The Springs. Desert Hideaway serving elevated comfort foods. Menu items include Fried Pimento Cheese w Ranch Dressing $10, a House Cheeseburger with Fries $16, Crispy Avocado $12, Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Spicy Date Syrup $16, Grilled Cheese with Bacon Jam $13, Baja Shrimp Tacos $15 & more. Mitchell talks about the inspiration for the menu, saying โI designed this menu to celebrate the joys of summer. For me, thereโs nothing better after a brutal winter in the city, than relaxing with friends, cold drink in hand and great food on a summer day.โ
Getting food from the truck is hassle-free, guests can order via their server or bartender and food will be prepared from the food truck located outside and brought directly to where guests are seated. Desert Hideaway will be parked at The Springs all Summer long.
