Beth: comedienne, Brokelyn writer.
Who doesn’t need a real reason to spend Wednesday nights at a bar? This Wednesday, Feb. 17, our very own Beth Hoyt (of Connect Four tourney fame) is hosting a new event called Speakeasy, a free weekly story-telling series at the Sackett bar, one of our homes away from home (661 Sackett St. between Fourth and Fifth Aves.). Beth has a line-up of “funny and smart people,” including Jessie Cantrell, Ryan Paulson and others, who are going to get on stage and share their stories with you. It’s not really stand-up and not really improv—just awesome people telling tales. Read the rest of this entry »

Picture this scenario: you had a job interview in some foreign section of town and, if it went anything like our interviews, it was an unquestionable disaster, due to vague reasons of “not addressing the room” and less vague ones like “completely and totally flubbing questions about the economy for an economic reporter job.” Your morning hopes of being able to splurge on a $6 Hennepin in celebration have been replaced again by the afternoon reality of drink-special consolation. What you need is some sort of function or operation to help you find a cheap drink, and fast!
Thanks to the ever-expanding effort to leave no aspect of modern life un-apped, you are in luck. The Cocktail Compass from L Magazine and Night and Day Studios gives you access to a database of happy hour information for 866 bars (167 in Brooklyn, 662 in Manhattan). Read the rest of this entry »

Back in October, we ran our list of great bars to watch the Yanks in their eventual gazillionth World Series romp. Now it’s pigskin playoff time, and Gang Green’s still around while Big Blue’s already deep in hibernation. The Jets take on Cincinnati Saturday at 4:30, and we’ll all need a place to take in the Bengal-stomping game. Here’s our same list of great sports bars around the borough, plus our readers’ additions from October. Because, really, big TVs are big TVs, beer is beer… and it’s football time, people!
Mullane’s, 71 Lafayette Ave. (Fort Greene)
One of our favorite sports-watching spots, Mullane’s has ample viewing room, and there’s a $6 beer-and-a-shot special to help get you through half-time. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s something we learned in our conversations with bartenders during these long winter nights: The holiday season, with all its clove-spiced sweetness, is the best time of year to get away with serving cheap booze to your guests. How cheap? Think off-brand honorifics belonging to rums (Admiral Nelson, U.S. Beverage Corps, ret.) or bourbons (Kentucky Gentleman, from the 35th happiest state!).
So let’s say you have some family or coworkers dropping by and need to pass yourself off as slightly less impoverished than you really are. Follow this advice from a few of our favorite bartenders—Francesca and Jessica at Park Slope’s High Dive, and Miriam at the Brazen Head—on how to pass off the cheapest booze in the store.
