We've just come back from a couple of Sunday drinks at our local - Project Parlour. We've walked past Project Parlour every time we've ever gone to do some laundry and I've always thought of going in and seeing what it's like - so today, we did.
(I didn't take any of these photos, they're all nabbed off t'interweb)
It's a funny little bar, full of old furniture all miss-matched and well-loved. Everything feels like it's been reclaimed, even the bar itself feels old. It's got no sign outside, just a chalkboard, and it always seems to have a couple of locals in there, sitting at the bar talking to the staff. It's very much a hipstery place, trying to be more of a Williamsburg Bar - which is great, especially as it's so close. They've got a projector on the wall that's always showing old cartoons or comedy sketches - it was the 3 Stooges as we were at the bar.
They have a lovely looking bar and had some great bottles of stuff - some fancy drinks that I've seen on the design blogs recently, they also have a big list of cocktails, so Abi had one - I'm not sure what was in it, but it looked might fine. It was a bit funny when I was getting a coke for Abi though, they pulled out a small bottle of coke (like you'd get at the train station) and poured it into a glass... they must be saving up for the coke jet-gun thingys.
There's also a back yard - which is pretty basic, but on an afternoon like today it was perfect. It's so lovely and hot and sunny today, it's been absolutely beautiful, so sitting outside sipping a beer and smelling the BBQ smells come wafting over seemed like a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Bedstuy.
We were saying it'd be good to go back there and get to know a few faces, feel some familiarity in the area - we bump into our neighbours every now and then, and they're absolutely lovely people, but it'd be nice to recognise more than the corner shop man and the laundry people. It's so close and so convenient - I think we'll certainly be heading back there soon.
