The frozen zombie

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

It was an overall good experience visiting the hut. I agree that there was nothing tiki about it, but the drinks were economical and the bar maid RENEE was friendly and inviting. The best place in the h1t had got to be in the back near the fireplace. Overall the zombie hut was a satisfying moment. Also the music was something to be "desired" for

Sighting of the duke

by MrRaulDuke at Citysearch

On certain nights if you're lucky you just might catch a man known as the fierce Mr. Raul Duke drunk off fruity girly drinks flamingo dancing to the musical stylings of InXS. After numerous zombies watch as he jives up to numerous women smelling each ones hair then tells anyone close enough that he could take any woman in the bar to get chicken parm them feel them up on the pier. Watch closely when he whips out his bill fold and you just might glimpse his treasured picture of a shirtless Hugh Jackman loving pressed into his wallet. This might be the only chance to see his wallet as he will always tell you he has no cash as the bill comes. The man known as The Duke is a tight fisted man. As the night winds down he will exclaim in a slurred raspy voice his overwhelming desire for pregnant woman he would marry if only a few years older. (Sorry to get off topic but the bar does have good drinks and a nice staff.)

• Pros: Long hair
• Cons: No pregnant women

nothing tiki about it

by koxo at Citysearch

decent drinks and yes the girls behind the bar are cute (attracting a largely frat-boy crowd if that's your thing) but the decor is so seriously non-authentic they should just re-do the place as something entirely different. Try Wakiki Wally's (glitzy) or Otto's Shrunken Head (divey) in the East Village for more authentic parphernalia. Otherwise there are way better establishments more deserving of your money in the area (Brooklyn Social for the cocktails and old-school glamour, Boat for the jukebox, Magnetic Field for the live music, etc., etc.)

Tiki bar with nasty bartenders

by quagmirenyc at Citysearch

The owner is a real piece of tool. Forget about a buyback. The drinks are pretty gross and so is the crowd. If you sit in the yard during the summer youll probably get plummitted with eggs. The owner doesnt care either.

• Pros: ?
• Cons: theme. owner

Tiki bar brings the heat and sweetness of the tropics to Smith Street.

by Kara Zuaro at Citysearch

The Scene
A tribal mask greets you at the front door, a thatched roof and bamboo adornments decorate the bar and a vibraphone player finishes off the more-ironic-than-exotic tropical ambience. With an appropriately kitschy touch, Zombie Hut brings the "The Brady Bunch"-in-Hawaii to Brooklyn's burgeoning restaurant row.

The Draw
Drinks decked out with umbrellas and plastic monkeys lure a mixed crowd to this lounge. The Frozen Zombie is an innocent-looking pink slushy drink made with two rums, pineapple and orange juice, but beware the first sip--a secret ingredient, possibly Bacardi 151, is shot directly into the straw. The Singapore Sling is a top choice for gin drinkers, and hula buddies can share a Scorpion Bowl, which comes aflame in a ceramic basin with two straws.

Proo22 must have been at Broome Doggs!

by daddytiger at Citysearch

You HAVE to come to "The Hut" and enjoy everything they have to offer. The most fun is watching the new patrons drink their first zombie- when everyone but them knows what the surprise is. The staff is fun and sexy, and even though there is no dance floor, after a few drinks EVERYBODY is shaking their booty just a little bit more! 17 out of 18 reviews got it just right.

• Pros: sexy bartenders, great drinks

A tiki bar you shouldn't be afraid of.

by skippyusa at Citysearch

I'm used to those midtown fratty tiki bars that are filled with obnoxious high fivers and loud women huddled around a flaming bowl of booze waiting to get picked up by aforementioned meatheads. This is not that place. Maybe it's because of it's location in Brooklyn, but Zombie Hut are filled with sweet regulars and witty staff, which makes it a great option after work or on weeknights to say, a regular beer bar. Mai Tais and Frozen Zombies are so good, and sometimes necessary. I like taking my friends from out of town here. Maybe the weekend are nuts, I dunno, I stick to the weeknight ritual myself.

• Pros: fun drinks, inexpensive, pretty room
• Cons: sugar hangovers

Smith Street tiki bar brings a taste of the tropics to Brooklyn.

by Kara Zuaro at Citysearch

In Short
Born in a tiny lounge a few doors down, this ever-popular tiki bar grew into its current wide, deep and high-ceilinged space. Colorful fish swim in a giant tank, and an attractive staff stirs up potent frozen drinks, mai tais, and shareable scorpion bowls, served aflame with a few extra-long fluorescent straws. In the cozy back room, guests cuddle on couches, a tropical mural brightens the walls, and a wood-burning fireplace keeps the air balmy year-round.

Avoid at all costs!

by proo22 at Citysearch

Loud frathouse-style bar. You will be annoyed by the selection of jarheaded clientele. Poor service and supervision. Why go here? Avoid.
