An old waterfront sailor bar on Atlantic Avenue, serving longshoremen and sailors since 1945 — ship wheels, authentic nautical decor that is real history rather than theming, and the Montero family's stubborn survival through every transformation of Brooklyn around it. The drinks are cheap, as a sailor bar's should be, and the weekend karaoke nights are the legendary draw. Come for karaoke for the full experience, near the Brooklyn Heights promenade and the piers. It is a genuine piece of the borough's waterfront past, still pouring stiff and still singing — Brooklyn history you can drink in.
