Describe Yourself:
FORT DEFIANCE is a cafe-bar in Red Hook, Brooklyn, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Named after a fort that was built in Red Hook during the Revolutionary War in the weeks leading up to the Battle of Brooklyn, Fort Defiance is operated (and its bar is tended) by St. John Frizell, a food-and-drink writer. The small and focused food menus are created and prepared by executive chef Bobby Duncan, a Georgia native whose illustrious career includes stints as executive chef of Dylan Prime and sous-chef of Gramercy Tavern. The Village Voice: Our 10 Best Sandwiches "#6: Fort Defiance's muffuletta..." New York Magazine: Best of New York, March 2010 "The only way to get a more authentic muffuletta in this town is to have it FedExed from Central Grocery in New Orleans..." The New Yorker, Tables for Two: Fort Defiance "If anyone can make 'Breakfast Martini' sound like a good idea, it's St. John Frizell, the proprietor of this inviting Red Hook haunt." - Lila Byock Time Out New York: The Best New Breakfasts "The egg sandwich...is a superior breed; and the sausage-enriched red beans on toast are the perfect hangover restorative." Village Voice, Best of NYC 2009: Fort Defiance, Best New American "The best of the New American crop this year is Fort Defiance..." - Sarah DiGregorio T: [The New York Times Magazine] The Moment blog, Case Study: The Secret to Seltzer "Frizell uses [Fort Defiance seltzer] in a host of classics: a cucumber Collins, a Barbados Buck, Ramos Fizzes...and naturally, a supernal egg cream." - Toby Cecchini The First Annual L Magazine Restaurant Awards, Best Bar Food: Fort Defiance "Perfectly-poured cocktails at bargain-bin prices are the main draw, but the food offerings at Fort Defiance are nothing to scoff at." - The L Magazine The Atlantic: The World on the Rocks "Fort Defiance seems the antithesis of those retro cocktail lounges that attract blog-obsessed hipsters who, like Bedouins, roll up their tents and leave when something new glints on the horizon." - Wayne Curtis New York Magazine: A Mighty Muffuletta "Fort Defiance delivers on all its café-bar promises." - Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite Village Voice: Fort Defiance Pops Up in Red Hook "Frizell's new spot has slid right into the neighborhood, offering a handful of excellent sandwiches...[and] a beverage program to shame any spot in Manhattan..." - Sarah DiGregorio New York Times: The Collins Boys, in Breezy Simplicity "Mr. Frizell's cucumber variation [of the Tom Collins] is hardly a new twist, but it's remarkable all the same...perilously refreshing." - Jonathan Miles The L Magazine: Revolutionary Revelation in Red Hook "Yes, Fort Defiance...is worth traversing the city's thick and steamy summer air and journeying far past the reaches of the F train." - Kara Zuaro Edible Brooklyn: Fort Defiance -- St. John Frizell's great good place "I figure if you're going to make fancy drinks in South Brooklyn, your bar better have a pretty tough name." - St. John Frizell NYCGO: Fort Defiance "[T]here's an on-the-money muffuletta sandwich, as well as deviled eggs, a spicy Vietnamese banh mi and Italian tuna on ciabatta. The café-bar feels like a beachside saloon..." - Julie Besonen PAPERMAG.COM: Bar of the Week: Fort Defiance "Fort Defiance is an effortlessly charming spot..." - Donhae Koo
