Dude, having some trouble with your bike (that’d be motorcycle, not fixed-gear)? Take it down to The Shop and while you’re there, have a $6 special: a Bud and plate of barbeque from the shop’s smoker. And yes, this is actually a working garage that just got their beer and wine license and is now a bar, too, sometimes with bands. You gotta wonder if they’re pulling one over on us, but who cares when it’s this fun?
290 Metropolitan Avenue (Williamsburg, Brooklyn)
As the name implies, Saint Vitus is a straight-up metal bar with live bands, Kill ‘Em All metal karaoke, and a weekly hardcore night. $3 buns (cheese steak, sausage, bbq tofu and more) sop up booze specials like the Pope: a Coors Banquet tall boy and shot of Tullamore Dew with a Brooklyn Brine pickleback. If we could live here, we would. All hail Saint Vitus.
1120 Manhattan Avenue (Greenpoint, Brooklyn)
Billed as “Long Island’s premiere live music venue”, The Inn also has a restaurant that boasts nightly specials like Taco Tuesdays with $1 tacos and $3.50 Dos Equis, and Extended Happy Hour Fridays, with cheap-ass drinks and 2 for 1 entrees from 7pm – 10pm.
