The Mack's back.
It seems like yesterday that the ’80s was the surprise comeback decade of colorful t-shirts and hipster-laden Saturday morning cereal parties. Well, welcome back, ’90s. It’s your turn. And it’s all about the music. This Friday, Jul. 9, celebrate the decade at the 90s Sing-Along Episode III: Return of the Mack at Legion in Williamsburg (part deux was back in April). The free sing-along, which will have so much more than the promised Mark Morrison, boasts “2.5 hours of nonstop, heart warming, fist pumping, boy band dancing, cheesy rap booty shaking and angst filled shouting music videos.” And it wouldn’t be a real ’90s night without a Hip Hop dance-off.

This is the latest in our series on the venues featured in the Brokelyn Beer Book. The Charleston in Williamsburg is a Brokester’s dream: a pizza comes with every beer.
THE CHARLESTON
174 Bedford Ave. between N. 7th and N. 8th Sts., Williamsburg, 718-782-8717
What it is: About as rough and tumble as a bar with gorgeous handmade tables and black-shuttered windows overlooking Bedford Avenue can be.
Why we love it: It’s the cheap-o haven that doesn’t feel like a cheap-o haven. Drinks come with a whole personal pizza.
Who to bring: People watchers, those friends who love to try to eat until they puke, a friendly partner to facilitate sharing a table with strangers on a weekend night.
What to order: Beer and pizza. Period. Make sure there’s parmesan and red pepper at hand.
Charleston fun fact: It’s one of the longest-standing bars in Williamsburg.
This is the latest in our series on the venues featured in Brokelyn Beer Book. With the Northside Festival taking over Williamsburg and Greenpoint this weekend, catch a drink by the piano at Manhattan Inn and get in the mood.
