A simple little indie rock hipster bar, but without most of the pretension that comes along with such things. Of course, a little pretension is a must, otherwise everyone would come in. The crowd is very cool, but they don't absolutely have to have a PBR, they can have a Bud Light and relax without losing cool points. The jukebox is the main draw of the joint, filled with indie rock, emo and classics, while the bartenders are friendly and will do their best to get you snockered before you leave.

"Great local hang"
By saraht from Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, October 25, 2009
One of my favorite Slope bars, its the epitome of a local neighborhood bar. They have a great jukebox, familiar faces and a fantastic outdoor area....
