New Crown Heights Bar Named One Of NYC's Hottest: Report

CROWN HEIGHTS, NY — A new Crown Heights bar connected to a butcher shop and Brooklyn bakery was ranked among New York City's best.

Eater New York had its eye on Winner on Franklin, ranking the eatery with hotspots like Jac's On Bond, Shinji's and Williamsburg's Donna.

Sandwich shop and butcher by day and bar by night, Winner on Franklin opened in January after the success of its sister bakery Winner in Park Slope and related restaurant Runner Up.

Sat between Sterling and St Johns places, Winner on Franklin serves unique cocktails with flavor combos like yuzu and gin, blueberry, orange and rye and grapefruit, basil and gin.

A morning menu includes breakfast pastries like a sourdough croissant and cinnamon roll, and hot eats like a breakfast burrito.

The real stars of the food menu are decadent sandwiches stacked with meats from the butchery — like oxtail short rib, jerk chicken and salt cod — and fresh bread.

Dinner bites and bar snacks include charcuterie, mussels, a cheeseburger, fresh sourdough and meat patties.
