Editorial Review for Frank's Lounge – by Drew Pisarra
The Scene
A number of fancy restaurants have appeared recently in Fort Greene, thereby providing BAM theatergoers commuting from Manhattan with hip places to go for a meal before the show or a drink afterwards. But while other patrons and neighborhood folk are checking out Chez Oskar or Moe's (or hanging out in the impressively cavernous but otherwise inert BAM cafe), the best place to go for an after-show nightcap might be Frank's.
The Draw
A small, local bar just around the corner from the Opera House, Frank's has inexpensive drinks and a mellow atmosphere conducive to good conversation. With a stucco ceiling resembling stalactites made from meringue, a friendly no-nonsense bar staff that makes the drinks strong and arguably the best R&B jukebox in the city, Frank's provides a chance to escape the scene and simply talk about it.

A real Ft. Greene gem. All ages, all races, great dancers, old school for reals! If you want to chill out, head downstairs to the old timey bar and play the jukebox. Men in hats still exist!
Pros: No place like it in the world

if you haven't experienced FRANKS LOUNGE you must come out on a friday night after 11pm or a saturday night after 11pm this place will not let you down...
Pros: great crowds, no drama, no young knuckle heads, excellent eye candy (male & female)
Cons: needs a larger dance floor, and spacier restrooms
