Classic Pub Fare with a Southern Flare - And A Whole Lotta Soul

 

“Eat, Drink, Boogie, and Repeat!” has long been the mantra of spirited restaurateur Greer Fredericks, a driving force within the Fairfield County restaurant and nightlife scene,  and most well-known for bringing low-country cuisine to South Norwalk in the form of Mama’s Boy Southern Table & Refuge back in 2013. Opportunity knocked and Greer grabbed a hold of it, selling her southern inspired respite in 2016. Proving that you can’t take the girl out of the biz, and you certainly can’t take the peach out of the south; Peaches Southern Pub & Juke Joint on the Waterfront is the next incarnation of this talented restaurateur’s bourbon-laced, chicken fried, home grown rockabilly restaurant and music venue.
 
The gang’s back together, with longtime friends and hospitality industry professionals at the helm. Executive Chef Paul Failla, formerly of Bar Sugo, and Beverage Director Tom Siano, formerly of Washington Prime, bring the bold flavors of Peaches to life.
 
Pub fare with a southern flare, menu highlights include A Lil’ Somethin’; Redneck Charcuterie filled with Benton’s country ham, Tasso, pickled vegetables, house made pimento, bacon jam, whole-grain mustard, Ritz crackers, and country toast; County Fair Bacon made with thick-cut bacon, funnel-cake batter, maple syrup, and topped with powdered sugar; Carolina Pig Tails with Carolina BBQ sauce and buttermilk ranch; and Bayou Mussels steamed in jambalaya broth, andouille, peppers, onion, garlic, served with country toast. Suppertime has customers sitting down to; Panhandle Shrimp ‘n’ Grits made with Anson Mills heirloom grits, andouille, shrimp broth, and pickled okra; Bucket o’ Chicken (for two) with pickle-brined fried chicken, cornbread, and slaw - try it “Nashville Hot”; Low Country Burger topped with fried green tomato, pimento cheese, bacon, frisée, and french fries; grilled Mahi Mahi with corn griddle cake, creamed corn, and apple vinegar slaw; and an over-the-top Crispy Pork Shank with black-eyed pea cassoulet. And the cornbread kicks some major booty.
 
Cocktails, southern inspired and infused with creativity, include something for everyone; Spicy Okratini shaken withOola Aloo Vodka, dirty okra juice and pickled okra; the June Bug made with Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka, Peaches’ sweet tea and fresh lemon juice; Peaches’ Old Fashioned comprised of Rittenhouse Rye, Demerara sugar, Angostura Bitters and Fee Brothers Peach Bitters; and the Petit Hurricane made with white rum, Myers’s dark rum, fresh OJ, passion fruit juice, simple syrup and house grenadine. Craft beer, old school canned stuff, and a small curated list of wine round out the beverage program.
 
Located in a two-story townhouse in the heart of the soon-to-be-famous Wall Street neighborhood of Norwalk, Peaches’ front door and main dining room and bar overlook a busy street scene, while the second story Juke Joint bar, music venue, and patio takes in the charming harbor side community, overlooking Long Island Sound.   High ceilings, distressed wood, and exposed brick walls embrace the many antiques found on the owner’s travels down south. Dramatic lighting, classic glassware, and reconstituted railroad spikes set the tone for a multi-sensory experience.
 
Quickly becoming known as the go-to music venue in Norwalk, the second floor Juke Joint features an underground line-up of local band musicians from such music greats as The Allman Bros, Billy Joel, Luther Vandross and Johnny Winters. Catch them jammin’ at Peaches on their nights off!
