Before

0.3 mi · 7 min walk - Ridgewood

Classic horror covers this dark Woodward bar, run by Tracy Bradbury and Chad Johnson, with a kitchen that runs to 11pm. The theme is played straight enough to be funny rather than grim. Brunch on weekends from noon.

After

short ride recommended · 4 min - Bushwick

New Orleans bar food shares the counter with beer-and-shot deals and rotating drafts at this dark Wyckoff bar. It opened in 2012 and the kitchen runs late, which is the difference between this and the pure drinking options on the same block.
