There are vegan restaurants, vegan cafes, even vegan boutiques. So why not a vegan bar? That’s the conceit behind the Pine Box Rock Shop, a scrappy taproom and music site in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Some liquors have animal products — not just dairy-based drinks, like Baileys Irish Cream, but also liquors that contain honey, like Bärenjäger. The owners Heather Rush and her husband, Jeff, vow to serve nothing but plant-based ingredients, which include their own house-made Irish Cream (made with thick soy milk, vanilla vodka, Frangelico and Kahlúa) and store-bought meatless Worcestershire for their Bloody Marys.

THE PLACE

A former coffin factory on a warehouse stretch of Brooklyn, about a block from the Morgan Avenue L train station. Inside, there is plenty of elbow and head room, with a pine-and-concrete décor that could be called industrial cozy. The bar is plastered with old ticket stubs encased in poured resin. In the back, a nook of wooden benches and halved oil drums offers a quiet spot to chat.

THE CROWD

The bar doesn’t wear its philosophy on its sleeve. As such, the clientele draws from the neighborhood’s various tribes. A recent Wednesday night found the space filled with a young, outdoorsy-looking crowd, including guys in rugby and flannel shirts, chatting with women in vintage dresses. At the bar, two bearded men had their noses deep in books.
