Atlantic Chip Shop: What’s all this, then—a British pub on the southern edge of Brooklyn Heights? Bloody brilliant! You won’t find eel pie and mash here, but Anglophiles will appreciate the enor-mous platters of fish and chips, imperial pints of English ales, and Brittanica kitsch adorn-ing the walls. It may not be the best place to pull a bird, but the punters are mostly neighborhood blokes there to sample one of the 16 beers on tap. Can’t decide between a Fuller’s and a Tetley’s? Half-pints are just $3. A best-of-Britain soundtrack, from Bowie to Blur, and friendly service round out this cracking local. Had too much bevvy the night before? The weekend-only “hangover special”—a full English breakfast, coffee, and Buck’s Fizz—will help get you sorted. |
