This bar is not so hip but it is oldschool brooklyn. Very "It's Always Sunny in Brooklyn." Play darts, listen to ACDC on the juke box, and drink good beer (they have sixpoint on tap).

This is a chain but it is so good. I eat it almost every day. Super fresh, super tasty, super healthy. Not bad prices (around 10 bucks for a meal). Go to place if you need a quick meal
