This bar attracts a very rowdy crowd. I partially grew up in Crown Heights, so I know this area very well pre-gentrification.
Friday and Saturday nights are extremely anxiety inducing. The music is extremely loud. There are too many patrons making the sidewalk inaccessible for other neighborhood and block residents.

Maybe look to establishments like Bakery by Textbook who are trying to do right when it comes to serving a blend of socioeconomic levels present in the neighborhood. That pricing for a glass of wine and a small snack would...
