Only in Greenpoint could you find the fashionista scene located next to the Polish meat store. Created by the same crew who masterminded the hipster-chic boutique chain Oak, the space has successfully lured Manhattan scenesters out to Greenpoint, but on typical nights you’ll find a smattering of locals. The interior lives up to the name—black mirrored tables, black leather banquettes, pretty boy bartenders in black tees, and a tin roof painted … yeah, you get it. The bar is long enough to avoid drunken encounters with struggling goth models, and a sizeable back garden offers an escape from the deep chasm of blackness within. There’s a decent beer selection, from Radeberger to Lagunitas IPA, and a Meatpacking-esque rotating cocktail list—though beware the model/bartenders who have little to no experience mixing a drink. — Melissa Lafsky
