What Happened to Lillie's?
Comments
-
Short answer, financial problems. Lillie's was ahead of it's time. While Van Brunt St. is starting to see some foot traffic, the corner of Dwight and Beard is a dark, isolated place. People just don't wander into a place that far out of the way. But it was a beautiful bar.

Anybody care to share memories of Lillie's? Or is it too soon?

Is Lillies the place that was only open once in a blue moon?

It use to be open every night. A lot of bartenders from around brooklyn would hang out there after work. So even during the week she was open really late. After leaving Lillie's, I passed school bus drivers going to work a couple times.
Howdy, Stranger!
