Prime 6 is Now Woodland, Opens Sunday

Controversial bar and restaurant Prime 6 has changed its name to Woodland, and is scheduled to open this Sunday, according to Brownstoner and the Flatbush Avenue BID.

Brownstoner says that the eatery is now less of a noisy sports bar or club, and instead wants to be the “go-to spot for farm-to-table food, super steaks, fresh fish, venison, bison burgers, etc.” And according to the blog's newest photo of the renovated space, the owners have re-done the facade in wood planking.

Last March,  when it was announced that Prime 6, taking over the old Royal Video space, was swiftly granted a liquor license with little community input. Residents especially decried that the restaurant would serve until 4 a.m. and would have a late-night backyard space that would draw rowdy sports fans from the nearby Barclays Center.

In April, owner Akiva Ofshtein  by closing the backyard seating area by 11 p.m. on weekdays and 12 a.m. on weekends. Ofshtein also ditched plans for a backyard bar, nixed any possibility of bottle service and promised to meet with Community Board 6 after one year to discuss any recurring problems.
