Ok food in the area. The food is good, but it didn't satisfy cravings. Although I was very full, I wasn't satiated.
I had the brisket with kale and the Brussel sprouts and kale salad. The salad was very simple. Nothing special.
The best part about the meal was the kale in the brisket, which was cooked well.
Service was very slow.
This was APBC stop # 5.
Yea, this place closes at 4AM on a weeknight. Word.
And wifi for the addicts out there. But, man was it Barack or Barak? I had issues…
It's a gorgeously-lit rustic looking place and while I was there they played some chill nostalgic 90's hip-hop so I was pretty darned happy. The bartender Shantell was friendly, prompt and generally cool. I wasn't feeling very adventurous when I went there, though their cocktails look intriguing I stuck to beer… I was a little underwhelmed by their beer options, not a very diverse offering and no bottles and just a couple non-tap options in cans. The crowd seemed chill, attractive and sightly diverse. Not ALL hipsters, but yes a lot of white folks but not entirely so either. I liked the vibe though with some more earthy (less frou-frou) food and beer options I'd be a big fan. I went on a Saturday night and a weeknight and there was plenty of space to move both times, which I like. Not too many bar options near here so they've got the market cornered, you could say…
Happy I finally got a chance to try this place. Decided to pop in for brunch. If you order mixed drinks they are tiny. The trumpet playing guy plays like he taught himself or is drunk. But the waiter was really nice. The atmosphere is roomy. And the food is delicious! I got the zucchini French toast. Very good. Very sweet. The polenta special looked the most awesome though and I would like to try it next time.
I love this place! The bartenders are all nice when I've gone. It can get crowded on weekends but it's ok if you can find a seat at the bar.
Cheap drinks. Had brunch one time. Meh. The sandwich was unique sounding, but the chicken was dry, and the bread was overdone.
After a small gathering in the city and with the spontanaety-inducing buzz of a couple bourbons in our systems, my lady and I decided to hop off the M three (3) stops early after catching some solid Yelp reviews of Skytown last-minute (gotta love an above-ground train–I'm a fiend for that LTE).
We walked in and instantly felt the vibe. Dimly lit, with neon signs and a large chalkboard proclaiming the beers on draft and specialty cocktails. A Sav B (sic) for her; an IPA for me. Food-wise, I was dead-set on a burger with bacon. She tried to play coy and mused about a panini, but we knew where her heart was; where it always is. Burger with bacon for her, too.
Generous patties–ten ounces, maybe?–loaded with toppings, thick-cut bacon, and nice buns (Brioche? Sure.). Cape Cod chips for me on the side, while she went with a nice salad. And ended up stealing half my chips. Thanks bby.
Great watering hole and straightforward, top-notch bar fare. Mentally filing this one away.
P.S. They played excellent music–I believe I even caught one Miami Nights 1984 song, which won't matter to anyone who reads this and thus makes it all-the-more spectacular.
Quick and friendly service. Festive atmosphere. Relatively affordable.
Handful of customers here on a Thursday evening.
Most entrees were about $10-$12. Draft beer for $6-ish.
Wine was expensive. Never understood the crazy markup on wine ($9/10/11 a glass?) Guess the restaurant science says to keep wine prices high, but eh, I'll go grab a few bottles down the street.
Everything was well cooked. Dinner for two with tax and tip came out to $45. I'd go back.
Mimosas and lots o' food if you're in need of a fulfilling brunch in Bushwick on a slow weekend. Also, it remains open until 2 a.m., so it could be a fine complement to a night out, I guess. Service is good, and the place has a strong hipster vibe (well, you're in Bushwick after all!).
