The Scene
It doesn't have to be snowing out for you to enjoy the apres-ski atmosphere of one of Brooklyn's few fireplace bars. Exposed brick and wooden beams, a hoop chandelier and squishy red banquettes make for cozy environs. Seats by the sleek hearth get scooted aside each time the flames are stoked, but the glow reaches every nook in the room.
The Draw
No hot drinks are served, so make do with an icy Hoegaarden from the tap. Funky beats from the '70s archives are played at a respectable volume for meeting and greeting all those other 20- to 30-somethings. The neighborhood had been screaming for a young, hip hangout, and it got one--with an atmosphere much hotter than expected.

My girlfriend and I have meet some great people at this bar. One of the best bars to strike up actual conversations with strangers who turn out to be neighbors. It isn't Manhattan and we don't want it to be. All I have to say is Keep on keeping on!

I dont know what people are raving about - this place is nowhere near the best in brooklyn! I was actually dissapointed when I came there. There was no AC, there were like 2 people at the bar & there was an odor coming from all the old furniture. I would not come back.

went last time for the first time and am here posting to praise. vibe is perfect -- very much like 18th street lounge in DC in the downtempo/chill way. warm atmosphere, quick service, cool bartenders. dj was playing music that was perfect for the space and really set the mood. great for a group or for dates i would say. im definitely going back.

Know Before You Go:
There's no number on the door, so look for the icicle lights and frosted-glass snowflake motif.
