Great Lakes: This bar is such a hole in the wall that you literally might not even see it when you walk by. Precluded by the unassuming “GRT LKS” sign in the window, inside the bar gives off a steely dive feel. With a smattering of barstools and tiny tables, there is rarely a seat to be found, and if you do find one, there is about a 30-percent chance that someone will fall off the bar onto you. The shocking part would be if someone actually noticed. The edgy prep-school-gone-bohemian Brooklyn kids tend to dominate on weekends, but it’s as good a place as any for a Tuesday night pint. Bring your philosophical friends, though—besides the falling drunks, there is little left to amuse the patrons. |
