Lido: Make the trek to Lido in the gentrifiably-coined "Columbia Water District" of Brooklyn, better known as Carroll Gardens...but the part over the BQE, and bartender Molly will surely take care of you. She'll feed you tequila, play with your dog, subsidize your jukebox choices, and even barbecue your meat in the backyard. OK, it’s more like you bring the food yourself and use their grill. At Lido, sarcasm reigns free (St. Jude candles keep the room lit), and theme nights like Buck Hunter Tuesdays deliver an ironic take on the dive bar mentality. But it's Molly that keeps the loyal clientele of retired and budding hipsters, architects, and artists wanting more and more $3 beers. Just don't let her affection affect your shot. Buck Hunter aces win a $25 bar tab. Git' R' Done. |
