Nothing hot or trendy. Kind of like Farrels(sp?) in Park slope-anyone been there? Thu Sep 19 15:20:00 -0700 2002 0 Bar Fry 1 1265847 Very partial list of possibilities: - Bay Ridge, Brooklyn: Kelly's, Three Jolly Pigeons - Ridgewood, Queens: Woods Inn, Assembly Bar, Caskey's - City Island, Bronx: Boat Livery - Kensington, Brooklyn: Cortelyou Lounge, 773 Lounge, Denny's Steak Pub - Rockaway, Queens: Palm Gardens Pub, Rogers Irish House - South Ozone Park, Queens: Guy's of Vinegar Hill -- Paul Thu Sep 19 16:18:44 -0700 2002 1265844 0 Paul Lukas 2 1265873 The Brooklyn Inn located in Boreuem Hill is a great old fashioned watering hall. O'Connors on 5th Ave and Bergen is a classic old man bar that now gets a young crowd. If you're interested in going to Manhattan check out the Ear Inn, one of the oldest bars in America. Great Irish bar with good beers and nice people. Fri Sep 20 09:47:26 -0700 2002 1265847 0 josh L. 3 1265962 I would very highly also recommend the Brooklyn Inn. It is actually older than Farrell's and is a real jewel of the neighborhood. You'll find it at the corner of Bergen St and Hoyt St. (1 block from the F train at Bergen.) The Brooklyn Inn used to be a speakeasy in prohibition times, and still has a remarkable amount of its decor intact. It opened in 1851 and you can feel it in the wood.

Fri Sep 20 12:27:08 -0700 2002 1265847 0 Clams247 2 1265884 I especially like the Woods Inn, Three Jolly Pigeons, and the Cortelyou Lounge. Fri Sep 20 13:19:23 -0700 2002 1265847 0 Brooklyn Boy 3 1266024 I'll say it's a great list. I thought I knoew most of the old classic bars in Brooklyn/Queens but you've mentioned some I've never heard of like the ones in Kensington, Rockaway, and South Ozone park. Speaking of Ozone Park, You probably remember Tuties, one of the most amazing old bars I've ever been in. I'm truly amazed that Woods is still open, haven't been there since the 70's, at which time it was a Disco (!), but you could see what a classic it was. --Ken Wed Sep 25 08:43:17 -0700 2002 1265884 0 Ken K. 1 1266053 On various drunken evenings I've probably been sworn to secrecy on some of these, but I can't exactly recall..... Rainbow Cafe in Sunset Park Kingsland Tavern in Greenpoint The Everglades on the corner of Fresh Pond and Palmetto, somewhere in Queens.... in ... Glendale, maybe? and of course Sonny's in Red Hook, now operating above-board, with license and all, if I heard correctly. Wed Sep 25 16:00:42 -0700 2002 1265844 0 pete wells
