Careful touches such as posted keg-change dates and a rotating selection of luscious hand-pulled ales give hops enthusiasts little reason to leave their stools, save for wandering over to tables occasionally laden with Middle Eastern treats. Also worth noting is a solid range of single malts that may leave many...

The Brazen Head scarcely needs a listing here: Anyone who would want to drink here already does. Although immensely popular with a neighborhood crowd of over-thirties (some way over 30)—many of whom look like it wouldn’t occur to them to check out the scene on Smith Street: The nightlife-seeking visitor to this stretch of Atlantic Avenue between Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill wouldn’t find the hip...

I was there the night the bartender who always smiles alot was working. I put my pet waterbug on the bar to give him a little drink and he hopped over the bar and scurried away. I have not seen him since.
