The Huckleberry Bar, Brooklyn

The Huckleberry Bar is set right off of Lorimer on Grand Ave in Brooklyn, New York. Smack dab in the Williamsburg area where several bars and small eateries line the streets. Williamsburg is what many in NYC have labeled "where the "hipsters" mingle". Yes, that is most likely true. I parked on a side street where apartments and houses sat closely together on this quiet Sunday afternoon and for the moment thought it a nice place to inhabit, if I was in my twenties and still in college.

Huckleberry is a well stocked bar, with the presence of class, yet comfort. Inside is nicely set up, with lots of seating in the front, at the bar, and along the wall, then as you go down the steps is an area with cushioned sofa's on either side, leaving a nice space that leads you to a outdoor area with additional seating and tables. Greenery that makes for a relaxing Spring or Summer afternoon with a cocktail or even a date. The colors of deep stained wood brown and dark red keep the look in with the name of the bar. The bartenders were helpful and with a lot of people, and only two of them, they managed well.

Initially you would not think such a place would exist when you mention Brooklyn, but I have since found that Brooklyn has it own "spots" that are waiting to be discovered.

The reason I had this opportunity is because of DailySession.com's music website that hosts DJs in the NYC area and around. They knock out the best music created throughout the decades. These DJs are talented and will show you music that you have yet to hear.

The BBQ was hosted at Huckleberry Bar and along with free Maker's Mark (in picture above), a mix of special brand whiskey (called Maker's Mark actually) and the bars signature Huckleberry juice, shaken, they served BBQ grilled hamburgers with potato salad. It gave me the idea of adding Fontina cheese on my burgers though. It was delicious with that juicy meat. I would have used a different roll instead of the plain one they offered. I'm sure that their regular menu is much more classier, so I want to eventually go back and check it out on a more personal night.

I enjoyed some fantastic, groovy music, met some more potential friends, and chilled for three hours. It was a great way to spend my Sunday afternoon. Can't wait for DailySession's next event!
