    What is it about dive spots that I love so much?!
    Freeyah-Knycky C.

    Yeah I'll be back! Seems like lately I've been giving away 5 stars! Hehehehe. Isn't it awful how we judge a book by it's cover? I was told that this joint was just for a mature (they said old) crowd and judging from the look of it I thought "nah, not my cuppa tea". I should have know better. I march to my own beat. Brooklyn! This is your spot! I finally found my LARRY'S PUB (Long Island Valley Stream) in BROOKLYN! If you've read my reviews on Larry's you'd know how much I love that joint! To find the equivalent where I spent some of my time is an awesome discovery for me. The drinks cheap! The staff mature and helpful (yes helpful). The pub is ole skoll (as we would write it in Trini. But the vibe is definitely awrite! There's a long bar and a "lounge" area at the back that seems to turn storage, turn domino, turn smoking room. After the day I had, it was just what I needed and I'll be back. Hey! They told me to! Lol The End.

    Dive bar in Bed-Stuy, I must admit I wasn't expecting this when I was told it had 4.5 stars on Yelp....:) Met Kevin G. for pre-game before the Do or Dine Yelp Elite event....and wished I came earlier! Drinks are cheap...$4 for beer? Nothing on draft, everything's in bottle. :/ Bartender girl is super friendly....originally from the FLL area! :) I was told by the boys that the liquor's cheap too...so what else can you ask for? Oh...free snack-mix? If I am in the area, I would probably swing by for the cheap drinks...and the chill peoples working/hanging out there! Tip-bits: Absolutely no drugs, you are being watched! ID to drink Cash only I believe Covered patio in the back. Bathroom in the other room, to the back, before you exit to the patio

    Gross! And I kinda love it.

    One of the best places in Brooklyn. Highlights include Jr (at the door), fish sandwiches and the never changing jukebox full of soul.

    Great for a casual night of drinking. The overall atmosphere is chill and laid back. Came here with…read moremy boyfriend, as we were looking for a casual spot to hangout. The wine and food was decent (nothing special). I will note that the food is served hot. My bf and I played several rounds of Uno while seated at the bar. The cards were sticky (not surprised). The music selection was pretty good. They played a few 90's throwbacks along with some other classics. A pretty chill night for a Friday.

    Came here with a group of friends to celebrate a friend's birthday and we were all immediately met…read morewith stares from the bartender. The bartender ID'd all of us and then aggressively made SURE that we weren't giving our drinks to minors (even though we're all over 25). One of my friends forgot her ID, so she decided to just hang out and not drink but the bartender continued to watch us on outside cameras to police our drinking. The bartender even made one of my friends take a shot in front of her to prove that she wouldn't give the drink to our friend that forgot her ID. Despite the bar being empty, the bartender was on a mission to harass us, most of us being queer and black. Eventually she recruited her male friend to continue interrogate us outside, even though we were simply paying customers enjoying our drinks. One of my friends, who's black, responded to the interrogation reasonably - explaining that we are all paying customers, we all paid our tabs, and everyone that was drinking was over 21. The bartender then accused her of yelling at her and then proceeded to call the cops on us. If you're anti black and love licking boots just say it boo! Your bar was EMPTY!! I wish none of my friends had tipped you or given you their business to begin with. We'll never be back. Get well soon.
