Rum-centric tiki bar with nautical, pirate-ship-inspired interior
"Quieter and more relaxed than its theatrical Brooklyn namesake, I found Bermuda’s Sunken Harbor Club to be a comfortable resort outpost with wood-paneled interiors, terracotta floors, and trinkets from Teddy Tucker, plus a full kitchen and patio seating that overlooks a private beach—an elegant yet laid-back spot for cocktails and dining." - Katherine Cusumano, David LaHuta
"“The Sunken Harbor Club is a shipwreck-themed speakeasy above Gage & Tollner in Brooklyn. I have this passport [I got there] that I carry with me just in case I ever end up there. You have to fulfill certain challenges and then you're officially a member [with access to a] special menu and reservations. People really don't know about it, but there's also not that much space. It's very intimate. So get there ahead of time.”" - brennan carley
"A playful tropical drinks parlor tucked above a chophouse and designed to evoke a sunken pirate ship, complete with a wooden steering wheel and a mural of submerged treasures; its menu by master mixologist Garret Richard ranges from lighter refreshments like a shiso-garnished daiquiri and a cachaça-and-coconut Batida Dourada to deep, complex offerings in a section called “The Abyss,” including a savory sesame-and-pepper Immortal Martini and a large-format Shattered Skull marrying pomegranate and pineapple with Jamaican and Bajan rums." - Brad Japhe
"Decorated like a sunken ship, this windowless bar is best on cozy nights. Located a couple of flights above the historic restaurant Gage & Tollner, it functions as spillover seating for those waiting for a reservation, as well as only of the spots for a night cap in Downtown Brooklyn. Its owner St. John Frizell, previously ran one of our other favorite cocktail bars, Fort Defiance (now gone)." - Emma Orlow
"A double date is the perfect excuse to order a bonkers, large-format tiki drink at this tropical-themed bar on top of Gage & Tollner in Downtown Brooklyn. The King Pinky, an enormous pineapple and hibiscus tequila cocktail, comes with four straws, but only one gold crown. Maybe whoever picks up the bill wins the questionable privilege of wearing it. After your last sips, stumble downstairs and see if there’s room to sit at the G&T bar and split a baked alaska." - molly fitzpatrick, hannah albertine, willa moore, will hartman
