You can take books for free or drop books as donation. I just dropped 2 books. The world cup was fun to watch here since it was not as crowded as other places, and there was a few screens here.

The space is quaint and intimate, but feels like the perfect spot to kill some time when you're doing laundry or just on a fun little date. They serve beers and cider; no liquor, although you can get a shot soju for $4. I had a mango and peach cider from Downeast that was quite delicious. Most of their drinks were $10 each, which was reasonable. This is a great spot when you want some entertainment as you can play their pinball machines ($1 each play), skeeball, or any of the free boardgames they have. Be sure to bring cash, but there is a machine that gives you a change of coins.

What's wild is if you go back to that same list now, most of those places are gone..but this one's still here, still doing its thing. And it's not just surviving off novelty either. It actually feels like Brooklyn. very Bushwick, very laid-back but still a little chaotic in the best way. It can get pretty packed, so don't expect a ton of space, but honestly that doesn't take away from the experience. It's always a good time, and the drinks never miss. If you're looking for a unique but low-pressure spot for a casual date or just somewhere to talk shit with a friend..this is a solid pick. They've got board games, but the real highlight for me? The adult coloring pages lol. Also, don't get offended by the subtle insults around the bar like saying "do math to figure out the tip"... lol I promise it's not that deep.

Big wooden booths make this a solid place to catch up with a small group, and it looked like they had some outdoor seating in the back as well. I was here past happy hour time during the week, but the prices here are still decent. My friend and I grabbed two rounds of vodka sodas and ended up owing $30 each. The bar had a handful of folks in here on a Thursday at 6 but wasn't too overcrowded. I liked the vintage style glasses and fun straw my cocktail came with. Our bartender was attentive enough and made good drinks. There are some TVs here in case you want to watch some sports. It's conveniently located right off the train. A very good dive bar, indeed.

The cocktail menu included a selection of martinis, including a pickle martini which I knew I had to get and happy I did so as it was perfectly made. The ambiance was dark and mysterious with various black rabbit themed decorations of art and taxidermy lining the rustic and wooden walls. The bartender was very friendly and service was quick and smooth. The pickle martini itself was delicious and I could've ordered several if I wasn't pacing myself for a longer night ahead. The bar food menu included a selection of cheeses as well as mini burgers which I personally opted for and exceeded my expectations. After the martini and grub we opted for a couple of their draft beers which were also a great choice. By the time we were leaving, the bar was full and there was a lively birthday party being hosted in the back. I'd recommend black rabbit for any type of evening you're looking to have.

The crowd is nice, the music rocks, and you can order food in. If Duff's was closer to me I'd be their Norm within a month.

Understated would be the best descriptor for this bar known for their PBR's and cheap beer+shot combos. In fact this has been the site of many film sets, chosen for its non regionally specific qualities because from the outside and inside it really does feel like it can be as much a bar located in a town many states over as one right here in Brooklyn, a little out of place among the new buildings and new age cocktail bars that populate the Greenpoint. It isn't just one demographic that you'll find filling most of the seats here either. Different age groups, personalities and backgrounds will find themselves here, much like the makeup of the surrounding neighborhood. A great equalizer of a bar, which is part of the draw. That you can have a raucous conversation with folks you may not otherwise find yourselves rubbing elbows with.

It's just not fun, and the thought of it being any sort of "social club" (See: previous name, categorization on Yelp) is complete hogwash. I mean, they do beer/shot combos for cheap. That's cool I guess, but I had quickly learned it's what half the dives are adhering to. I don't care if their draught selection is sparse, what gets me is how tiny the pours are. I do not think it was even a full 12 oz in my little mug. Maybe 10. Can someone measure this out for me? Goodness gracious I don't like paying pint prices to get just over half a pint. Liquor selection blows. It's cash only, which you'd only know from a very small, inconspicuous sign above the register. And to make matters worse, their ATM was down! And they were completely unaware. Goodness gracious, I'd never come back here.
