This venue is closed.

Former owner Ted Mann (also the owner of Bar 4 in Park Slope and Apartment 138 and Camp in Carroll Gardens) and his partner Joe Mento turned a former coffeehouse into an inviting lounge by installing tall tables in front, cozier, candle-lit tables in back, and hanging local art on the red brick walls. From small rear sitting areas, 20-somethings take in the jazz combos, soul singers, and swing bands that frequent the small corner stage. The bartender, pours a mean espresso martini and will recommend others off of the excellent specialty menu based on the tippler’s personality traits. The taps, which boast a fine selection of beers, are located in front of a blue-tile mosaic created by a former barkeep: Expect to elbow your way to the burnished copper bar on weekends, especially if one of the occasional DJs is spinning anything from classic rock to house. — Analisa Tamayo
