The note

Why it is on the list

Black Briar opened Sep 26, 2026 in the old Bar Takito space at Lake and Morgan. Chef Jimmy Papadopoulos (Bellemore) and partner Tim Anderson built a gastropub around a coal-fired hearth: about 110 seats, a 20-seat bar, and a menu where the snail toast is the dish people bring up first. Open every day from 4pm. It is a dinner-and-drinks room, not a lunch stop.
