The Rum Bar BK

11 Great Black-Owned Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You don’t have to love rum in order to appreciate The Rum Bar. As long as you enjoy hip hop, reggae, peaceful back patios, and jerk spring rolls, you’ll have a nice time at the little island-themed Crown Heights spot. From the owner of The Rogers Garden, this is one of the few NYC establishments that focuses on sugarcane spirits, so, ideally, you should have some rum here—in the form of a painkiller or Cuban daiquiri—but if all you drink is tequila soda, they can do that as well. Come by for a DJ set, or take advantage of the Happy Hour specials." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, willa moore
