Description
The bar's name reclaims the mid-twentieth-century slur “light in the loafers,” anchoring a space designed as an homage to post-war Brooklyn's queer history. The interior mixes an affordable dive feel with vintage decor, soft lighting, and cozy couches. For food and drink, there are Italian tramezzini sandwiches and a compact menu of strong cocktails, while the room fills with a mix of patrons and disco DJ sets kept at a volume that allows for easy conversation.
