Hank’s Saloon of Brooklyn – Signed Art Print (Dive Bar Icon in Boerum Hill)
$150.00
Hang this legendary dive — originally Doray Tavern, later Hank’s Saloon — cornerstone of Third & Atlantic, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. This was a pen-and-ink drawing (with spicy flame accents) capturing the smoky charm of a bar built in 1860, reborn in 1971 by Dorothy & Ray Slattery, and thriving for decades—even after 2004’s renaming by the new owners, paying tribute to Hank Williams.
This place weathered foreclosure in 2012, was a home to Mohawk ironworkers & country music nights, and dazzled Esquire as one of America’s Best Bars—closing in 2018 after over a century of grit & glory bklyner.com+1bklyner.com+1.
