The Hide OUT

Great bar/lounge for this part of Brooklyn. It can get too crowded and to find a seat for more than one person is impossible. However, if it's earlier than 11pm and it's just you and a friend you must go and try the cocktails. They're a little pricey for Brookly, if I wanted to pay $14 for a cocktail I'd go to the Gaansevort. Overall a must see for the locals.

Oooh I love bars where drinks are served by people who claim to miss the chill, cheaper times of Bk, while serving up $18 cocktails. Felt duped...so subprime of them. The drinks were fantastic, undoubtedly, but so is a dinner down the street at any one of the amazing Ft Greene food joints. Yes, the neighborhood has been changing for years, good and bad, I've got my beef with the gentrification too, but drinks just don't need to cost that much. Music was good, and decor was cool and hopefully the joint will open its doors in warmer climes. In all, decent spot that needs a thoughtful neighborhood makeover.

I ventured out one night on my own and was greeted by Kasim, one of the owners. He was kind and friendly. I didnt feel out of place. Next to me was a dude reading a novel and drinking a glass of wine and this was at 1030pm on a Thurs. The mood is sensual, very throwback, mostly young crowd with folks laughing and carrying on conversations, nothing rowdy. Bartenders are nice! They'll chat you up too. Tasty cheese crackers. I only wish it was BIGGER.
