Rock these shirts? We’ve got the party for you Being a Republican in the liberal bastion of New York City must get frustrating some times. You’re outnumbered 6 to 1, and your own national party just knifed you in the ribs for basically no reason. Still, this is America, where everyone’s entitled to their political beliefs. More importantly, this is Brooklyn, where everyone’s entitled to a drink and a good time. Recognizing that, the Brooklyn Young Republican Club is having a party. Proving that conservatives have just as much taste as liberals, the party is being held at DUMBO hotspot reBar, on Wednesday. They’re graciously buying the first round if become a new member or renew your membership, which is the kind of deal making sadly missing on Capitol Hill nowadays. They’re getting there at 6:30pm and will be there until 9. Though in a bit of easy, but impossible to not mention… Read More]]> http://brokelyn.com/its-time-to-party-republican-style/feed/ 2 http://brokelyn.com/today-in-dumbo-free-tacos/ http://brokelyn.com/today-in-dumbo-free-tacos/#comments Mon, 30 Jul 2012 13:05:38 +0000 Tim Donnelly http://brokelyn.com/?p=37850 Read More]]>
It’s called “reBarnacle” because it “clings to the side of the pirate ship reBar.” The folks behind Dumbo’s reBar are opening another new restaurant today: reBarnacle (yuk yuk yuk), a “Brooklyn style chef’s kitchen” with a seasonal menu where you will eventually get to vote on the dishes. But the important thing right now is: they’ve got free tacos today! Stop by there after 11am for a free fish, pork or tofu taco.  reBarnacle is at 147 Front St in the Old reBoy location.  … Read More]]> http://brokelyn.com/today-in-dumbo-free-tacos/feed/ 1 http://brokelyn.com/wifi-happy-hour-goodbye-coffices-hello-bars/ http://brokelyn.com/wifi-happy-hour-goodbye-coffices-hello-bars/#comments Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:00:54 +0000 David Colon http://www.brokelyn.com/?p=33943 Read More]]>
ReBar photo courtesy of Simply Dazzling Events. You’ve been there before: unable to work at home, you pop in to the local coffee shop to soak up the wifi and get yourself focused with a cup of joe. The next thing you know, you’re on your third cup, you’ve got the shakes and somehow still aren’t done working. You’ve got to take the edge off somehow, but still don’t want to go home. What’s a girl to do? Fortunately for you, Brooklyn is home to bars that offer wifi AND open early enough to get you back in balance. Happy hour, here you come! REBAR 147 Front St. (at Jay) DUMBO Happy Hour: 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Sure you could research your thesis paper and enjoy the free wifi floating around DUMBO when it’s all pretty and summery. What if it’s raining though? What if it’s (ugh) January? You pop in to reBar with… Read More]]> http://brokelyn.com/wifi-happy-hour-goodbye-coffices-hello-bars/feed/ 11 http://brokelyn.com/bar-of-the-week-refill-at-rebar/ http://brokelyn.com/bar-of-the-week-refill-at-rebar/#comments Mon, 27 Jun 2011 12:33:22 +0000 Dan Harmon http://www.brokelyn.com/?p=27851 Read More]]>
This is the 22nd in our series on the venues featured in the second Brooklyn Beer Book. This week the spotlight is on reBar, the DUMBO pub with a love of reclaimed materials of all kinds.   REBAR 147 Front St., DUMBO What it is: Not your grandfather’s “gastropub” (where, depending on the day, you might be able to get blue cheese with your hamburger). No, grandfather, this is the real deal – with apple fennel mango slaw (for the slaw enthusiasts), ostrich (for the goofy bird lovers out there), and a lovingly curated beer list to match an incredible selection of European wines. Why we love it: Although the menu changes with the seasons, the atmosphere, like San Diego, stays classy. It’s dark, it’s handsome, and everything is delicious — so if you play your cards right you can eat like a king, drink like a soldier and pay like a… Read More]]> http://brokelyn.com/bar-of-the-week-refill-at-rebar/feed/ 0
