Chef Oscar Gogan returns to Layla for a two-night pop-up blending Scottish ingredients with French technique, with dishes like oysters with Guinness and fried chicken with Drambuie hot honey. Gogan has cooked at The Clover Club, Le Crocodile, Tuome and Carousel.
If Williamsburg had an aperitivo-hour MVP, it would be Layla: think European bar meets comfy hometown hang. With cocktail glasses clinking like neighbors greeting each other in the backyard. Sunlight hits the patio, the playlist drifts between funk and soul, and the share plates (the stracciatella’s legit) give you every excuse to stay longer than you planned.
A twist on the classic sbagliato — house aperitivo, sweet vermouth, and prosecco with rhubarb.
Mezcal and amontillado sherry with orange Curaçao, watermelon, peppercorn, basil, and lime.
Tequila and Aperol shaken with fresh ginger, pineapple juice, and yuzu for a sweet-sour finish.
Crispy fried croquettes with bechamel filling.
