Profile

Veterans of Frank's Cocktail Lounge in Fort Greene were rattled when its vintage block-text front sign gave way to an all-too-tasteful burgundy awning. But their worries were premature. Oh, sure, weekends now have a $5 cover and hip-hop DJs spinning rap, R&B, house, and reggae, and trust-funders and BAM-goers mingle with the moldy zoot-suiters. But to gaze upon the stucco ceiling over the bar and mounted TVs tuned to BET is to enjoy truly authentic kitsch in a city full of pretenders. Saxophone whiz Lonnie Youngblood still occasionally plays Thursday nights. There's live jazz starting around 8pm on Sundays, and presiding over it all is Frank Perkins, who never misses a chance to throw a bash complete with a hot southern buffet and generous helpings of liquor and blues.

Frank's Lounge, or as we call it the local ocal you know a place to go that's right in the hood or very close by, has alway been a spot to go get your drink on, your dance on, and if you so choose your one night only on. In the past it had a seedy, infamous, and bar room brawl air about it-self but still i was there. Today the establishment has grown to a place where you still can get your drink on, your dance on, and if you choose your one night stand on. The Dancing Poet

Once you hit the dance floor, you'll never get off! The walls literally sweat with the dancer's energy. Some amazing regulars, both upstairs and down. I love the contrast between the old timers downstairs and they Ft. Greene young'uns upstairs. Dynamic! Fun!!
