King Tai

"Everyone likes King Tai. The house cocktails are great and start at $12, and the Crown Heights space feels like a cross between a 1950s diner and a small shack you’d find on a beach. To save a little money, stop by for Happy Hour, which runs until 8pm every day. If things go well and you wind up coming across as a normal adult human being, linger until a DJ shows up." - bryan kim

"When: Daily Until 8pm The Deal: $1 Off Drafts; $1 Off Wine; $1 Off Well Drinks King Tai plays consistently good music any time of day, and it looks like it got jealous of Miami and tried to make itself a clone. Happy Hour is an especially good time to take advantage of the Crown Heights space (and try to get a seat at the bar)." - willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim

" C Marty’s Jerk @ King Tai / Wednesdays 5-11pm; Thursdays & Fridays, 5-9pm Get some of the best jerk chicken Brooklyn has to offer at the C Marty’s Jerk pop-up inside King Tai, or take some to go for a sunset picnic. They’re at the cozy Crown Heights bar from Wednesday to Friday every week cooking up jerk fusion plates like jerk banh mi and quesadillas, as well as their classic wings. " - neha talreja

"King Tai advertises “perpetual to-go cocktail service,” which is something we’d like to carve into a tree with a heart around it. This Crown Heights bar serves to-go rum cocktails every day between 4pm and 11pm from a little window, and there are a few tables where you can hang out with a friend, date, or friend who thinks it’s a date. Make sure to follow King Tai on Instagram so you can keep up with their rotating pop-up series. That’s another reason to keep coming here - the food menu changes every week." - hannah albertine

"If you’ll be in the Crown Heights area this weekend, stop by King Tai on Sunday, May 2nd for beef, pork, or vegetable siopao as well as vegetable pancit noodles with mushroom and sugar snap peas. The food is from Filipino cooking project, Magbaon, who has run pop-ups at King Tai in the past. Learn more about their story and events on Instagram here." - hannah albertine
