Bed-Stuy + Clinton Hill, Brooklyn · restaurant
Bed-Stuy's only sports bar fills up exactly twice a year: Knicks playoffs and World Cup, when strangers are suddenly friends over $5 drafts and mango habanero wings. The rest of the time it's a relaxed neighborhood bar with trivia Thursdays, a full food menu, and a lobster Gruyère burger that would feel out of place in a better-decorated room.
Juicy burger loaded with lobster and melted Gruyere, served with salad
Golden fries showered in truffle oil and shaved parmesan
12 crispy wings tossed in Thai chili-mango habanero sauce
