  • figured I'd post this here too. someone asked about bars near the arena in another thread...

    I live a few blocks from the Barclays Center, these are my favorite bars in the area:

    Fort Greene:
    Der Schwarze Kölner, http://www.ex49.com/dsk/ (smallish german beer hall)
    Mullanes, http://mullanesbrooklyn.com/ (more of a sports bar thing)
    Hot Bird, 546 Clinton Avenue, New York, NY 11238 (this is on the border of fort greene & prospect heights), http://nymag.com/listings/bar/hot-bird/

    park Slope:
    4th Ave:
    4th Ave Pub, http://nymag.com/listings/bar/4th-avenue-pub/ (free popcorn!)
    Pacific Standard, http://www.pacificstandardbrooklyn.com/
    Cherry Tree Pub, http://nymag.com/listings/bar/cherry-tree/ (my friend used to live in this space before it became a bar)

    5th Ave:
    Uncle Barrys, unclebarrys.com‎
    Black Sheep Pub, 428 Bergen Street

    Prospect Heights:
    There's a bunch of decent bars and lots of restaurants on Vanderbilt Ave btwn Pacific and St. Marks

    on Atlantic Ave:
    Hank's Saloon, 46 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217 (this place is just awesome. nuff said)
    Hollow Nickel, 494 Atlantic Avenue, hollownickel.com‎ (this place is pretty new, went once. seemed cool, it has a backyard)
    There's a new "fancy" beer place near the stubhub office on Atlantic Ave as well. just opened a few weeks ago.

    My pleasure! I love New York but I know it gets overwhelming since there's so much to do, thought some suggestions might help :)

  • Anyone know any good Vegan places? I've been on yelp and I see there are a ton BUT of course I can't hit them all, so maybe my fellow Pearl Jam fans can narrow this down for me.
