The Crown Heights dining scene lost one of the more stylish and eclectic facilities. Located at 252 Empire Blvd, the spacious bar and grill have built a solid reputation with its trendy aesthetics, creative menu and outdoor patio space.
ABE’s Gurui was best known for offering an ingenious array of small plates, a comfortable main, a luxurious dessert and an impressive cocktail lineup. The restaurant offers a modern and advanced dining experience that stood out in the area, making it popular with both locals and the height of the crown from other parts of Brooklyn.

With over 400 reviews and a 4.4 star rating, Abe’s Gruit has maintained a strong fan base throughout its run. It somehow combined the atmosphere and flavor, providing a space that felt casual and elevated at the same time. The venue’s refined design, warmly lit bar and a variety of menus have made it a popular place for date nights, celebrations and laid back evenings.

Despite its popularity, the restaurant was unable to maintain the business level necessary for its survival. The owner continues to operate the acclaimed Abe corner at 674 Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
