Brookland’s Finest, Smith Public Trust and now Steel Plate – Brookland is on a hell of a roll! From the owners:
“After nearly a year of work, Steel Plate is finally ready for action…
Doors open today Wednesday, June 25. Come in and say hello!
Starting today and for the first few weeks:
– Our hours of operation will be from 5pm to midnight.
– The kitchen will close at 10pm Sunday – Thursday and 11pm on Friday and Saturday.
– Happy Hour is offered Monday – Friday, from 5 – 7pm.
Now, we know that things won’t be perfect immediately, so as our neighbors and first guests, please help us work on anything that might need improving. We ask for all feedback, comments, suggestions, and – of course – patience as we smooth out kinks in our system. As a preemptive apology for any errors on our part, we’ll be offering a 20% discount on all checks (with the exception of happy hour) until this coming Sunday, June 29th. Your support will help whip us into operational shape!
We are so excited to be here in Brookland… We’ve already met some awesome folks and can’t wait to meet more of you. And again, thank you in advance for all your support over the past year. Now, come on in, cozy up at the bar and toast with us.
Cheers,
The Crew at Steel Plate”
