Ratner execs move in on Freddy’s
The Brooklyn Papers
By Jess Wisloski
Yost’s bar, Freddy’s Bar & Backroom, sits in the middle of Ratner’s development site at Dean Street and Sixth Avenue. Several anti-Ratner arena events have been held there and members of the project’s opposition regularly meet in the old bar. Now the building housing the former speakeasy is about to become another Ratner acquisition, but the bar may not sink so quickly. He was told by his landlord this month that the property would soon be Ratner’s.“Whatever that means for Freddy’s Bar, I don’t know,” he said. “They haven’t contacted me other than the one boiler-plate letter.”
