Description
Behind a front door marked "non-members welcome" lies a space preserving its South Brooklyn Italian-American roots. Formerly the Society Riposto, the bar channels a throwback era with its red pressed-tin ceiling, slowly revolving ceiling fans, and the strains of Duke Ellington. Bartenders styled in jaunty fedoras and Rat Pack outfits pour ginger old-fashioneds and dirty martinis, accompanied by a simple menu of pressed panini.
