Business Description from the Web
Floyd, NY may model itself on the vinyl-sided bars of rural America, but it still belongs in Brooklyn, what with its bocce ball tourneys (yes, there’s actually a 40-foot clay court running the length of the bar) and Guinness taps. Which may go a long way toward explaining why Floyd’s is such an affable watering hole for local yokels, who congregate at the wooden bar or “living room,” complete...

Tips About This Business
Save a buck on drafts, wine and wells every day between 5pm and 7pm.
The jukebox is a lively mix of classic country, folk rock, indie rock and nostalgic '80s bands. The speakers for the bar's CD player, however, are in serious need of replacement.
The Kentucky beer cheese is a mix of cheddar cheese, spices and of course, beer.

Both on the parents and the...

I went to Floyd few days ago, together with my friends. We wanted to stay for a drink. However, to my astonishment, we saw kids running in the bar! We went somewhere else.

If you are looking for a kindergarten, not a bar, this...

I recently moved to Brooklyn Heights and can't praise Floyd enough for being the best bar in the neighborhood. The couches are unique, cute, and comfy, and on a weeknight there's usually a puppy or two in the crowd. The bocce court is a unique, fun touch, and the jukebox is so far the best I've found in the city. Also, when you choose songs, they actually play them -- you don't get the...
