It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Good music, good service, good food, THE BEST RUM & COFFEE DRINK Ive had, forgot the name of it, something like "kickstart or something".

We were there on a Sunday evening and the place was rocking. The patrons were extremely friendly, the music (not live), was awesome. BUT, the Selection of Beers is Epic and Jared the bartender is a beer sommelier . The wines and mixed drinks are also great. Plenty of space at the bar, tables and cozy nooks. And, pinball. No food. But, you can order out from the places around the bar, or bring it in.
