Profile

Brooklyn's most notorious tiki bar is small, but Zombie's drinks are tall and will get you wasted in a hurry. After a couple of $8 Gilligans (vodka, three rums, and OJ) you'll feel like you've been washed up on a desert island, except that it's really the sidewalk. The walls are covered in bamboo and adorned with Polynesian masks and trinkets, giving off a true hut-like feeling. Music ranges from Eminem to Simon and Garfunkel, but always manages to sound good, even if it's Journey that's on. People can often be found making out on the couches in the back sometimes after meeting at the thriving single scene up at the bar. The social $20 four-person Scorpion Bowl or Frozen Zombie can be fun, along with the other sickly-sweet, oddly-colored drinks served with kitschy plastic stirrers. But if island cocktails aren't your thing, PBRs are always available for $2 along with other reasonably-priced beers.

Zombie Hut is definately a great tropical themed escape from the woes of reality. After a giant frozen zombie, you are wisked away to a lovely little place in the dark, playing battle ship or connect four. Did I mention how much i love frozen zombies??? its cheap, its tropical themed and its a great place to pre-game or hang out and be low key. MMMMMMMM zombie.

Avoid at all costs!

You can do far better on Smith Street! You'll find the crowd here very mean, a lot of LOUD frat boy types. The place is too small and crowded. The night we were there the bartender was screwing up everyone's orders.
