Goldie’s, a longtime bar located at 195 Nassau Avenue, opened its kitchen to customers on June 6. Previously limited to snacks, Goldie’s now offers a menu of hot sandwiches, fries, and small plates. The kitchen remains open until 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and midnight on other nights.

The Nightcap, situated at 605 Lorimer Street, followed suit with its own food program starting June 14. The bar, which opened in 2022, had not offered food beyond packaged snacks. Its new kitchen offers a rotating menu of bar staples, including burgers and vegetarian options, also available until 1 a.m. on weekends.

According to staff at both establishments, the decision to add kitchens reflects sustained late-night demand in the neighborhood. Increased foot traffic and customer requests for more substantial food options prompted the expansions. In a statement, Goldie’s co-owner Alex Lu cited “consistent crowds after midnight” as a driving factor.

The late-night dining expansion comes as several other Williamsburg bars and venues consider extending their kitchen hours. While the area has seen earlier closures in recent years, operators at Goldie’s and The Nightcap say they expect their kitchens to remain open late through the summer.
