Bed-Stuy Bar Crawl on the Block From Conan's SubwayTakes Clip
A Bed-Stuy bar crawl on Marcus Garvey, from Lucky's happy hour to Debbie Shields's Confessions and live music at Tadpole.
📍 Bed-Stuy Bar Crawl on Marcus Garvey
🍹 Happy Hour at Lucky's Cocktail Lounge
Start the Bed-Stuy bar crawl at 334 Marcus Garvey Boulevard, where Lucky's Cocktail Lounge runs happy hour from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM Tuesday through Sunday. This Black woman-owned lounge keeps the music chill and low-volume, bartenders tailor drinks to your taste, and the kitchen sends out catfish strips and wings. A relaxed backyard rounds out the room.
🎤 Confessions, Debbie Shields's Bed-Stuy Bar
Cross the street to number 333, where Confessions owner Debbie Shields went viral after her Oct. 20 episode. On SubwayTakes, Conan O'Brien called her his ex-wife, and she shot back that their two kids were one in medical school and one in jail. She hosts comedy and karaoke nights here, and Conan has already asked for free drinks. Doors open at 4:30 PM, and Saturday runs until 2:00 AM.
🎶 Live Music at Tadpole in Bed-Stuy
Finish the crawl about a block south, past Putnam Avenue, at 358 Marcus Garvey Boulevard, where Tadpole opens at 8:00 PM Thursday through Sunday. The cozy venue feels like a friend's living room, with live music and occasional dance parties, and the bar pours wine only, with the sister bar next door covering other drinks. Friday and Saturday run until 2:00 AM.
