Brooklyn Buschenschank in Carroll Gardens May Be Closing This Fall

CARROLL GARDENS, BROOKLYN — Brooklyn Buschenschank, the restaurant and tavern located at 320 Court St., may be yielding its property to a new business in the coming months.

On Monday, the licensing committee of Community Board 6 approved a liquor license application from businessman Ofer Cohen, who said he was interested in opening a new establishment in the property.

Cohen said he hasn't decided whether to move forward with his idea — which he described as a specialty pizza restaurant featuring live jazz — but said that if he did, he would hopefully open by the end of the year.

A manager with Buschenschank couldn't immediately be reached for comment on Monday.

The community board did apply a condition to its license approval: citing past problems with noise, any future business would have to close its windows by 10 p.m. during weekdays and by 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Cohen said he would work with the community to address any quality of life issues.
