Description
Set against the industrial backdrop of Gowanus, this neighborhood spot pairs its drinks with toasted cheese sandwiches and small, simple pizzas. While the kitchen's output is basic, the draw lies in its low-key hangouts, local beers, and cocktails like the "thin ice". For gatherings, the private back room offers a budget-friendly setup with a separate sound system, operating on a food and beverage minimum that allows hosts to bring their own food. Occasional comedy shows and games round out the casual scene.
