A Fond Farewell to The Brooklyn Warehouse
After 17 incredible years, The Brooklyn Warehouse will be closing its doors at the end of March, with our final service on March 29th. While this decision is a difficult one, we are immensely proud of everything we’ve accomplished and the lasting impact we’ve had on the food culture of Nova Scotia.
Founded in 2007 by Leo and George Christakos, The Brooklyn Warehouse has played a pivotal role in shaping the local culinary landscape. Over the years, we’ve earned numerous accolades, including multiple wins for Best Restaurant from The Coast and Taste of Nova Scotia, as well as countless positive write-ups and reviews from critics and customers alike. These achievements reflect the dedication, hospitality, and hard work of our incredible staff.
Through their involvement in the Slow Food movement and the Devour! Film Festival, Leo and George helped elevate the conversation around local food and sustainability. They were among the first in Nova Scotia to celebrate local chefs and farmers, encouraging people to consider the origins of their food.
In addition to Brooklyn Warehouse, Leo and George were the creative forces behind Ace Burger Co. and Battery Park Beer Bar & Eatery, which continue to serve guests in Downtown Dartmouth.
Sadly, Leo passed away in 2019, and George has found it increasingly difficult to manage two restaurants without his father and business partner. Despite the successes achieved, the challenges of the post-pandemic economy and our inability to secure a long-term lease have made it increasingly difficult to imagine a sustainable future for the restaurant.
We would like to take this moment to sincerely thank the exceptional staff who made Brooklyn Warehouse a success over the years. Your hard work, dedication, and passion have been the heart of this place, and we are deeply grateful for everything you’ve done. You’ve helped create lasting memories for countless guests, and Brooklyn Warehouse would not be what it is without you.
As we approach our final service, we invite you to join us for one last meal with those closest to you and raise a glass in celebration of the legacy of Brooklyn Warehouse — its great food, the community we’ve built, and the unforgettable moments we’ve shared.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.
Sincerely,
The Brooklyn Warehouse Team
