Walked by where Rose Water used to be in Park Slope and saw that it's gone - I used to love eating there when I lived a few blocks away, but the owner apparently closed it in November 2019 to go work for a non-profit, so he couldn't have picked a better time to get out of the restaurant business.

Rose Water was discussed a bit in the "Redd's Roster of Restaurants" thread at the time it closed. One of my favorite restaurants in the Slope for many years. Was heartbroken by its loss, with the silver lining that the owner never had to struggle with pandemic fallout.

TIL Brooklyn Inn and WCOU Radio/Tile Bar have the same owner.

Brooklyn Inn is a cool place - that’s the old one on the corner, big space, used to have a pool table, right? Haven’t been in a minute. Not familiar with the other one

Tile Bar is in the EV, what was it like 7th st and 2nd ave or something? Had a decent jukebox.
I have mixed feelings about Brooklyn Inn though I know it's a classic. It's also the bar that appears in Motherless Brooklyn.
When I lived in brooklyn and would go to bars I found the crowd there to always be a bit older, a bit wealthier, more like a hipster yuppie longstanding brooklyn vibe. I had friends for whom that's their local.

1st. Jukebox was good, maybe not quite as good as the one at Downtown Beirut.

B-b-but what about The Lismar Lounge?

I think Alex in NYC blogged about a lot of these places.
I went to the tile bar for like 20 years, lived on 4th and 1st… I would very often play "caroselambra" (which is the closest thing to Wyatting you can do for LZ cuts) and PJ's "A Place Called Home"…

I went there for many years without living in that neighborhood, but not for quite as long as you did.
