    Inside
    Chris A.

    Made the trek out here from Manhattan to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and am so glad I did! The location is definitely out of the way but once you find it - you find yourself intrigued and wanting to come in based on the decor and ambiance you can see from the windows. It has the cutest little table nooks and a very dark and sleek yet vintage feel once you're inside, given the lighting. I appreciate the customization in being able to order a drink I wanted which was a simple Jameson and ginger ale. But they did offer a cute little menu of things to order as well as were vending some food near the bar which was also great to see. Overall, I appreciated the vibe and felt pretty comfortable as someone who is non-binary entering a new space for the first time. The music and DJ at the time was also really grate and I assume it's a rotating theme or DJ for each night.

    Non alcoholic beverages and tarot cards!

    Ambiance was awesome! Service was great! Location is sketchy. But highly recommend the Mermaids non alcoholic beverage. Delicious!

    I was visiting from out-of-town and noticed this bar was only a couple blocks from where I was staying so I figured I'd check it out. The drinks were fantastic, among the best I've had in New York. I had the Nightingale (a gin sour riff with honey-rosemary syrup) and a Shade of Jade (sort of like an alcoholic green juice, quite refreshing and nearly healthy).

    Really nice bar, giving speakeasy vibes. The drinks are really strong and the staff is super friendly. They have open mic night on Sunday's. Will definitely come back!

    They have the best bourbon cocktail in Bushwick. The Occult Fashioned is memorable. Really impressive. Great job, Kino!!!

I got to have some Detroit style pizza from upstairs, which I still think is hilariously bold in NYC, and I tried a few new drinks. I had one new friend in town who was trying them for the first time and was also delighted. It's also helpful when you have a bartender or staff in general that genuinely engages with you and is excited that you are enjoying yourself. I forget his name, but he made sure our party really enjoyed ourselves. Great way to kick off the birthday month, that's for sure!

I'm sure I've walked past it countless times without realizing it was there, until now. You enter through the pizzeria, where you'll be asked to wait for a host to escort you down. Once inside, you're greeted with a cozy, intimate space and a menu full of creative, delicious cocktails with clever names. The bartender and host were both warm, friendly, and quick with a joke, which made the atmosphere even more welcoming. The space is small, but that's clearly part of its charm, it feels intentional and inviting. I'd definitely come back. No photos this time, I was too busy enjoying the experience and soaking up the vibes. You'll just have to check it out for yourself to see how cool it really is.

However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.

    My adventure out to the Purgatory club was to see the performance of an artist from Japan named…read moreIsiliel. This show was the first of two in the USA with the second being on the West Coast. It would start on the very early side (3PM) so I headed out there via the MTA and while the ride was long, it was more straightforward than I would have first thought. There are currently quite a few clubs for shows like this in Bushwick and Williamsburg but today's adventure was going to be my very first time at Purgatory. Once onsite, I went in to meet with the artists manager since I was going to do some PiercingMetal stuff at the show. The bar part was not yet open but its a nice sized bar with plenty of chairs around it and a couple of smaller lounge areas that I really liked the vibe of. Outside in the front there were a number of small tables and chairs forming a sort of patio space. Their rather remote location probably let's them do this with relative ease and the train is right near them so if you're out there you can watch them go back to the city or deeper into Brooklyn. There was also a photo booth area downstairs if you like that kind of stuff. Upstairs is a small but rather awesome concert/event space. The stage is a tight one and I felt that the room itself would fit about 75 people. Spatially speaking, if you've a three piece of guitars, singer and drums you'd be okay but the kit needs to be small or digital and you need to be mindful of the space you have to share. This might be great for an intimate acoustic event or even a live podcast of some kind. I felt that the lighting was good for the artist I got to see and the sound was solid and a nice surprise. There is an upstairs area reachable by a gated stairwell but I think this is for tech and artists waiting to go on stage. There is also a small bar upstairs and an alcove for artists to sell merchandise. I was there to see an artist from Japan named Isiliel, and this was one of her two US shows. I didn't see any notion of food being served at this place so I apologize if they do and I didn't make note of that. There was an open Wi-Fi signal which let me do some social media between groups. Depending on who the performance is from I'd definitely come here again. I don't know the general area so cannot even determine what other options might be around here but the folks behind Purgatory have really set up a cool spot.

    Drinks are amazing and service was enjoyable. I use to live in the area, I think this will be my…read moresummer spot
