You get Fred Flare (left) The brand with the ultimate cute factor has been an online shop for over 10 years, with affordable and stylish findings: clothing, accessories, home goods, etc. But they just recently opened a physical location in Greenpoint. With nice employees and a cheerful design, this little store could be the happiest place in Brooklyn. Fred Flare, 131 Meserole Ave, 718-349-1257, www.fredflare.com. Read the rest of this entry »
This is the third in our series on the venues featured in the Brooklyn Beer Book (great places, all, even without coupons.) In honor of the US gold-medal sweep at the Olympics yesterday, today’s spotlighted establishment is Trophy Bar, the Williamsburg bar where everyone’s a winner.
TROPHY BAR
www.trophybar.blogspot.com
351 Broadway between Rodney St. and Keap St., Williamsburg, 347-227-8515
What it is: A trophy-themed bar, tucked away on Broadway under the JMZ.
Why we love it: The friendly bartenders, the backyard garden, and the regular hosts of DJs and dance parties on the weekends.
Who to bring: First and second dates if it’s a weeknight. On the weekend, bring only those you aren’t embarrassed to dance like a fool in front of.
What to order: Mix things up and get one of their signature cocktails like the Best in Show or Runner up.
Trophy Bar fun fact: This bar is the work of the team from Stay Gold Gallery, and we hear something about Asia Dog on the back patio in the summer.
