Huckleberry Bar: Any delusions of Huckleberry Bar being a chill place to go and relax up in north Brooklyn without being attacked by hipster zombies because you’re not wearing the proper band t-shirt will be quickly dispatched. Although creative and great looking, the drinks (not necessarily the clientele) are ridiculously expensive. They offer small tapas dishes with an interesting British and southern influenced feel, but they decided to mix one of the worst tasting types of foods with one of the best tasting types of foods and came out with mediocrity—the food analogy of Alexa Joel. Despite the crowd being rather small on this particular evening, Huckleberry has a big space and a beautiful garden—plus one for global consciousness. The posh décor and nine dollar drinks are a far cry from the $1 PBRs this neighborhood is used to, but then again, with all the luxury condos popping up, the Wall Street zombies need a place to drink, too. It’s only a matter of time until the two stereotypes get drunk and mate and the first “Wipster” is born. |
