"Hart Bar is a gothic, saloon-like bar, but with the heart of a really good house party. There’s a dance floor in the basement and a big covered patio in the back, where people take smoke breaks in between listening to Talking Head remixes. The drinks are strong, the music is on point, and it’s a good hang at Happy Hour or on an unhinged Saturday night." - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore
"Me Tay Co serves food inside Hart Bar, and it’s from the people at Bushwick Vietnamese spot Falansai. Playing on the chef’s Vietnamese and Mexican heritage, Me Tay Co serves drinking snacks, like an epicly golden-looking shrimp toast." - will hartman
"If you’re in the mood for vegan junk food but don’t feel like waiting an hour for a table at Champs Diner, come to Hartbreakers. It’s from the same people, but instead of a retro diner, this place is counter-service and specializes in fried “chicken” sandwiches. Inside, you’ll feel like you’re in a ’70s tiki bar with bright orange tables and leather pink booths. The menu has a mix of healthy-looking salad bowls and fried snacks like a basket of waffle fries covered in seitan bacon, cheese, onion, and coleslaw." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim
"A vegan restaurant in Bushwick that had been open for five years, Hartbreakers announced it closed in the final weeks of 2023." - Luke Fortney
"This Bushwick bar by the Myrtle JMZ stop has the look of an old-timey saloon—but a night here feels wonderfully unhinged at all times, like one of those house parties that your best friend’s band used to play. Ferns peek out from behind a big enclosed patio, where people take smoke breaks in between listening to noise bands performing in the basement. The strong cocktails, local musicians, and cozy dance floor give us flashbacks to a time when Bushwick’s best venues were underground, and every time we stop by, we end up having “one more drink” all night. A Thursday nightcap at Hart’s can quickly turn into a tipsy walk home at 3am, hugging a hot grilled cheese from their kitchen for warmth." - Neha Talreja
