Construction Underway on Duke of Montrose Bar

Trade Winds furniture closed up shop over the summer on the corner of Fifth and Bergen, and shortly thereafter it was announced that a high-end Scottish Whisky bar called Duke of Montrose would be moving into the space. Run by the same owners as Upper East Side favorite Caledonia, it'll be built to resemble a distillery, and will also serve a full food menu (no word yet on haggis).

Last month the windows were papered over and flyers were pased in them looking for help with heavy lifting, and over the course of the past week the space has been gutted. Will be interested in seeing how this bar turns out.
