Park & Sixth Gastropub, Jersey City, is temporarily closed and will be reopening with a new concept and name, The Draper. Their Facebook page states, “Inspired by Dorothy Draper, the pioneer of Hollywood Regency interior design, the space will be split into two distinct styles with the front of the house remaining a Pub with a full lunch and dinner menu, and the dining room will be transformed into a luxury cocktail lounge adorned with velvet drapes, crystal chandeliers, craft cocktails and tasty finger foods. We will also be adding a game room downstairs.”
