Bed-Stuy + Clinton Hill, Brooklyn · bar
A Bed-Stuy dive where the mascots are two turtles named Ja Rule and Vita, who sometimes star in monthly turtle races across the shuffleboard table. Inside it’s all dim lights, vintage signs, tangled Christmas strands (including a deer head lit up like a holiday tree), and a bar that pours cheap, steady drinks. There’s a backyard patio, DJs on certain nights, and a crowd that somehow always makes it feel like you stumbled into the friendliest house party in Brooklyn.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
