James Murphy Is Opening a Wine Bar in Williamsburg

Where are your friends tonight? At James Murphy‘s new wine bar, that’s where. The former LCD Soundsystem frontman has announced plans to open the Four Horsemen, a wine bar in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, as The New York Times reports. The bar opens in early June and will feature up to 350 wine selections, as well as food.

Murphy’s wife, Christina Topsoe, is a partner in the bar.

Murphy has spent a lot of time developing the Four Horsemn’s acoustics, so that conversations inside the bar won’t have to be shouted. “That’s why it doesn’t sound cavernous,” he told the Times. “All people will know is that they’re happy. They’ll not feel the unpleasantness.”

Murphy also revealed that in the process of becoming a gourmand over the last few years, eating “like a 14th-century noble,” he developed gout. He told the Times that it was “far and away the most painful thing I’ve ever had.”
