L.I. Pour House To Reopen With Southern Flavor

The L.I. Pour House, a pour-your-own-beer spot in Port Jefferson, will reopen next week as a Nashville-inspired restaurant.

On Jan. 5, the local spot will transform into Mr. P's Southern Skillet, and will feature down south inspired food.

Taking the place of the Pour House, which opened in 2014, Mr. P's will be at the same location at 650 Route 112.

“Over the last couple of months, I’ve visited Nashville a few times,” owner Anthony Pallino told

GreaterPortJeff “The downtown vibe is great there, and I want to bring it to Long Island.”

To help with the transition, the 33-year-old has recruited a new chef from Georgia, who Pallino says will cook “comfort food with a classy twist.”

The menu is set to include traditional, but tasty items like shrimp and grits, jambalaya, fried steak, chicken and waffles and more.
