Gayle Goes BYOB
Posted by Foobooz on March 18th, 2009

Owner Daniel Stern is turning his Queen Village Gayle into a BYOB. This morning he sent us this message.
One of the questions we have gotten consistently is “are you a BYOB?” and we always assumed this was due to the size of our restaurant rather than the scope of what we do. About two years ago, as an accommodation to those guests who loved to open their cellars when they dined out, we began a BYO night on Thursday evenings. This has proven to be something that our guests enjoy very much. We have decided the best way to thank our loyal guests and continue to provide the best value in both price and experience, would be to extend our BYO option to every night we are open. Gayle becomes a BYOB on 3/18/09. We look forward to seeing you soon.
And yes, Gayle still offers its Food & Wine acclaimed Veal Stew Wednesdays. Three courses including salad, dessert and of course the stew goes for $35.
Update: There will be no corkage fee. The current wine and liquor inventory will be sold over the next few weeks and the license will be put on hold for a future project.

Does this mean they’re dropping their liquor license entirely or just that they’ll allow BYO in addition to maintaining a list?
Any mention of corkage fee?
Yes, I know I could just ask the restaurant, but why not add the details to the report here?

I read elsewhere that the liquor license is being dropped from Gayle, but will be retained by Daniel Stern for future use on another project.
