The Wyckoff Ave area home to drug induced comatose idiots and way too many convenience stores now has a shining pillar of the community besides Sosa Electronics.
Old Stanley's brings to mind a comfortable place... warm, inviting and soft yet firm. Like having your head nestled in a good set of jugs. Somewhere you can hang out with friends, meet new ones and have a great time.
The bar has a pretty awesome floor which was the first thing I noticed upon walking in. I was greeted by a wonderful, happy and smiling bartender Clarissa? Not sure but she not only is so nice but hot as well. Definitely hard to find bartenders like her in this city, (she should be a keeper management.)
The beer out of the tap was cold and flowed well into the 3-4 beer range by the time we were done. Had a great talk with the bartender about comedians, she knows her stuff.
They also have a classic Playboy pinball, buckhunter type game and an old school photobooth!! Talking 4 shot strip, black and white, so retro not even your grandmother has one.
The guy saying the bartenders threw him out? Probably because he is a douche Yelp employee who thinks the world owes him his podium for his petty reviews. No bartender is going to throw you out of the bar unless you are a stuck up hipster jerk to start off. Rather not have you hipsters in this place, you bring...
Read moreThis bar is fantastic. I first noticed it 5 years ago and have gone there sparingly for no particular reason. It's pretty large with very ample seating and a nice yard too. The old style wood bar decor is very nice and comfortable. It's not a dive bar but feels as chill as any dive bar I've been to. They sell hot dogs which is a great bar food when you just want a quick bite to stave off hunger while you keep drinking. Their selection of beer is great. Besides the decor that another way you know it's not a dive bar. Of course they offer all the fine liquors you would expect to find in a well stocked bar. This place can get hopping or certain nights. I have experienced it recently. It almost feels like a club. I will be making my visits more frequently especially on the 3rd Friday of the month. A great DJ jams on that night and the vibe gets even better as a result. All the bartenders are professional and, dare I say, attractive. Locals love this place and tourists should come check it out for a real authentic Bushwick Brooklyn...
Read moreI love this place BUT one of the bartenders on 7.3.19 had serious attitude. After commenting how me and my friend looked "awfully young" (be that as it may, I didn't come here for comments on my appearance) she promptly handed us our beers, cracked them open, and after I paid, rudely said "you know, it works to tip your bartender."
Tip for what? Cracking a couple beers? My ass.
I already would have tipped if I had cash, but as it was I gave my last extra dollar to my girlfriend earlier TO TIP WITH. My friend, who I was paying for, ended up feeling pressured to give away his own last couple dollars to tip this unpleasant person. I have much more adult-sounding words I could use, but apparently I don't look old enough to use them.
Seriously, if you have to ask to be tipped after ONLY pulling two beers from a fridge and cracking them open, the problem is not your customers... It's...
