Late Night Brooklyn Bar With Pretzels and Generous Pours

A late night Brooklyn bar earns its regulars through consistency, and Sharlene's has it on Flatbush Avenue. Drinks are reasonably priced and poured with a generous hand, service leans friendly, and the close knit room lets a first date settle in without feeling staged.

Tap beers carry the night and a kitchen menu keeps the table occupied, with fresh pretzels doing the heavy lifting when one round turns into three. First timers tend to get folded into the neighborhood rhythm quickly, which is the whole appeal of a room like this one.

The schedule does the rest of the work. It runs daily from 1 PM to 4 AM at 353 Flatbush Avenue, which makes it the rare bar that works for an afternoon pint, a drink after dinner, or the last stop of the night.
