Barramundi: Named for a wily fish from Northern Australia, Barramundi feels like a Lower East Side antique shop housed in a shanty by the shore. Floral tile competes with exposed brick; above the bar, a sculpture juxtaposes painted high heels with the underbelly of an old-school single-scoop skateboard. Amidst the bric-a-brac are friendly bartenders with accents from a land down under, where beer does flow and men chunder. Order a round of white wine sangria, then let this grungy beach shack take you on a journey to the outback—even if it is just the Lower East Side. |
