At Sleepwalk

A Bushwick nightspot that feels like someone imported a jazzy noir dream and set it to a Brooklyn beat. Inside, low lights, art-deco glimmer, and 1920s Shanghai (meets) NYC glam make the long bar a comfortable place to sip crafty cocktails until DJs, burlesque acts, and live bands pull you toward the back room’s velvet edge.
