The Turk's Inn was founded in 1934 in the northwoods of Wisconsin, where for 80 years it served steaks and chops alongside more exotic fare in a lush Arabesque setting. Upon its closing in 2014, we committed to keeping the spirit of Turk’s alive, moving it part and parcel from Wisconsin to Brooklyn, expanding on the concept to keep it fresh and interesting for a new generation of Turk’s patrons.   

In its new home, the Turk’s Inn houses a 60-seat dining room inspired by the original, a take-out kiosk serving deluxe shawarma, a rooftop patio, and a 280-person nightclub called The Sultan Room.
