"At one of Brooklyn's oldest bars (opened in 1885), the interior is heavily Victorian, with a wooden wraparound bar from 1901, intricate woodwork, and a few small stained glass windows. Though it's all dark wood within, the bar is on a corner and has windows on two sides, nice for sunlight people-watching. 12 beers on tap, a mix of local craft brews and the likes of Guinness. A juke box and pool table at the back of the bar provide some activity. Covered outdoor seating in the front. Cash only." - Sophie Friedman
