oconnors "beer garden"
wtf is this shit
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 20 March 2009 17:30 (seventeen years ago)
i have no idea what happened to the backyard at o'connors but they've completely rebuilt the wall in the back and there's no yard access anymore.

4th ave's backyard is much smaller and involves a staircase, plus 4th ave is 2x as expensive as o'connors :(
"backyard"??? i had no idea that o'connor's had a backyard
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 20 March 2009 17:58 (seventeen years ago)
it was more a gravel pit but it had picnic tables
― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Friday, 20 March 2009 18:05 (seventeen years ago)
when they opened it last summer there was a sign outside for a while saying check out our beer garden or some such shit - and then u know it was just yr standard old divey oconnors w/a backyard full of rocks
― ice cr?m, Friday, 20 March 2009 20:37 (seventeen years ago)
btw its spelled biergarten

Morbs, I would love to kick off baseball watching, but I have plans Sat. night. By the way, I now work with one of your Slant colleagues.
― Virginia Plain, Friday, 20 March 2009 21:35 (seventeen years ago)
well, I've only met 4 of my colleagues.

i prefer to think of ilxors as "colleagues" than "friends" in general & fyi.

At the clover place again. I'm noticing the biggest disadvantage of the thing is that the barista has to explain the machine and the individual coffees in detail to EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER WHO COMES IN. I guess maybe after a while they'll have a regular customer base who understands it though.

that's a lot of talking
― Surmounter, Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:00 (seventeen years ago)
They're having live loungy jazz piano right now. It's kind of funny and weird, but pleasant enough.
― Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:52 (seventeen years ago)
sounds nice tbh
― Surmounter, Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:53 (seventeen years ago)
i just did brunch at alchemy. they make really good bloody marias but their food is always so HUGE!
― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:54 (seventeen years ago)
i've never had food there. it's cute though (kind of pricy?)
― Surmounter, Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:58 (seventeen years ago)
They have a great sounding grand piano, btw!
― Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Saturday, 21 March 2009 21:05 (seventeen years ago)
alchemy is kind of pricey? it seems regular price (for brunch), maybe a dollar more than other places but that's the whole 5th st strip quite frankly.
this isn't strictly downtown brooklyn related per se but guys

they are $1-2 more than goign to chelsea market and getting a live lobster tho
― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 16:57 (seventeen years ago)

― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 18:35 (seventeen years ago)
i will eat 10 lobsters just fyi
― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 18:36 (seventeen years ago)
well, i've only been to alchemy for dinner, and it was pricy for me. should try the brunch though.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 18:36 (seventeen years ago)
For a similar price, I'd def. do Buttermilk Channel (for both brunch and dinner).
― paulhw, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 18:41 (seventeen years ago)
get the pickles.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 18:59 (seventeen years ago)
i have heard the pickles are good
― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:01 (seventeen years ago)
I was a big alchemy brunch booster but it's a short menu and never changes, I went too many times and got burnt out on it
(except the bloody marys those are still good)
― dmr, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:14 (seventeen years ago)
returning to the back yard discussion, i have heard that the bar on 3rd ave near atlantic (which has some generic sounding name i can't remember) has a nice outdoor space. can anyone confirm?
― mizzell, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:27 (seventeen years ago)
omg a lobster party!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GENIUS
buttermilk channel >>>>> alchemy for sure but i've had dinner at one and brunch only at the other!
aaaaaaand back yards: are you talking about hank's??? i keep wanting to go in there but then forget about it! if there's a yard then 4 sure i am there.
― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:45 (seventeen years ago)
Oh, I walked past Hank's for the first time, last weekend. I guess there was a show on Sat night and there were a bunch of boot-cut-jeans types hanging around outside? But I'd try it on an afternoon, for instance. Did not notice a yard of any kind but I didn't go in.
― How can there be male ladybugs? (Laurel), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:48 (seventeen years ago)
hanks is the only thing i can think of on 3rd & atlantic
― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:49 (seventeen years ago)
wait is there a bar ACROSS atlantic actually on 3rd, kinda cattycorner from hanks?
― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:50 (seventeen years ago)
yeah across atlantic from hank's. it's called.. the Brooklyn Tavern

― mizzell, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:52 (seventeen years ago)

― Surmounter, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:52 (seventeen years ago)

yeah the tavern's patio isn't bad
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:53 (seventeen years ago)

― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:55 (seventeen years ago)
glad to know more backyard places, i am sick of going to 4th ave, the popcorn machine makes me SICK
;) i remember when i first discovered the City Lights diner there, i was so happy cuz it's 24 hours. it was surprisingly decent 2am fare!
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 19:59 (seventeen years ago)
i think that place is closed.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 20:02 (seventeen years ago)
that used to be my walgreens as well. I think I went into Brooklyn Tavern once.
