| "Only locals" know about this "under-the-radar hipster bar" on the "far side of Park Slope", where "indie rock dominates the jukebox" and the crowds "cool without being pretentious"; it also hosts some of the "best board-game tournaments in town" with lots of "Candyland champions" and "Trivial Pursuit players" in attendance. |

| Park Slope stay-at-homes declare theres "no more need to go to Manhattan" thanks to this "lively" bar/eatery thats more than "comparable to its SoHo sibling", with the same "knowledgeable drink masters" but "more space" to move about; in short, its a "safe bet" for Brooklyn "trendsetters", though "less wealthy" folk might have trouble "stomaching the cost." |

| "Bantering bartenders" pour "brilliant wines" at this Park Slope "oenophile heaven", a "really sweet place" with the "perfect mix of appeal and decor"; "bon vivants" praising its "nice seasonal selection" and "friendly" staff have only one caveat: they "wish it were a little bigger." |
