The Beagle has landed. Matthew Piacentini, co-owner of the Portland, Oregon, restaurant Clyde Common and most recently the bar manager at inoteca e liquori, has opened The Beagle, a new produce-and-cocktail friendly American restaurant (the kind of place with four kinds of ice) in the old Orologio space on Avenue A by Tompkins Square. We've got photos and a menu for your perusal.
Manning the kitchen is Garrett Eagleton, a Clyde Common alum who has also put in time at a number of Oregon hot spots, who is serving up an interesting menu that ranges from fingerling potatoes in anchovy butter ($6) to squid with chilis, prosciutto, and frisee ($15) to a $17 pressed pig and rum dish featuring a braised pig head, white beans, "pickled things," and Santa Teresa Solera rum and a $24 milk-braised pork shoulder dish served with broccolini and apricot.
The cocktail program, meanwhile, was developed by Piacentini and bar manager Dan Greenbaum (formally of the John Dory) and beyond the pre-prohibition cocktail menu and the spot's upcoming barrel-aged cocktails, they seem to be very proud of the four kinds of ice they have on tap (may they never make it to ice-nine!).
Finally, the newcomer has some nice hours for East Village night owls (Sunday through Wednesday 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., Thursday through Saturday 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.) but do be warned that for the duration of May the Beagle will be resting on Mondays.
