A truly amazing Brooklyn bar. The atmosphere is warm, softly lit and almost magical. The open mic nights often attract talent so good you feel privileged to witness it. The crowd is multi-ethnic, sophisticated, soulful and hot.

A converted synagogue is now home to one of the most unique bars in the city. A hexagonal bar, stained glass, and a friggin tree right in the middle of the place make for an interesting cocktail spot to say the least.

Casual neighborhood wine bar has a pleasant back garden, but is marred by an unimpressive wine list, short hours, and most damning in this neighborhood, stingy portion sizes.

This fair weather garden space has $2 PBRs and an aesthetic which transcends dive and ends up somewhere near trash heap. Oddly it's quite a relaxing and comfortable place to while away an afternoon.

The theme is summer camp, which granted is more than a little camp itself. The bar's popularity rests in the fact that rather than attempting to capture camp kitsch, they've instead pretty successfully captured the feeling of warmth and camaraderie topped off with some smores for dessert.

Carroll Gardens gets their very own pricey, high brow cocktail bar. At the moment the place feels more like a genre exercise than a good time, but it's anyone's guess how it will develop as it matures.
