Trudie’s Tavern Is Ready to Be Carroll Gardens’s New Go-to

Trudie’s Tavern is now open at the corner of Court and Luquer Streets, the longtime home of the neighborhood staple Buttermilk Channel. Founded by Nate Adler, Rachel Jackson, and Emily Tripp—the team behind Gertie and Gertrude’s—the new restaurant aims to be a versatile neighborhood destination. The space has been updated with white tablecloths, rattan chairs, and a local mural, offering 70 indoor seats and 30 outdoor seats.

The menu, developed with chef de cuisine Eli Friedman, features Jewish-inspired comfort dishes including a large-format latke for two, lamb schnitzel, and "pretzel service" with homemade honey mustard. A centerpiece of the kitchen is the rotisserie, producing half-chickens for dine-in and whole birds available for neighborhood pre-order. To accommodate local families and varied schedules, the tavern opens daily at 4 p.m. and keeps a bottle list mostly priced under $100.
