Two-year-old Sweet Grapes Wine Bar just morphed into Old Man Hustle at 39 Essex Street, as we first reported last month. Under same ownership, the transformed concept is a hot dog restaurant/bar that doubles as a small-time performance venue. Rev. Jen’s Anti-Slam was the first get.

The Hustle has apparently been operating in soft-launch mode, though. Official opening is tomorrow afternoon, to be celebrated with a party beginning at 10am.

More on Old Man Hustle:

Old Man Hustle is a lower east side hot dog shack by day and art bar by night. We have a calendar of events spanning all genres of music, comedy, storytelling, performance art, and variety/talk shows. Old Man Hustle features events organized by local musicians, curators and is open to programming all types of art. We welcome new ideas and collaborations with all types of artists. We offer a diverse selection of craft beer and wine.
