Editorial Review for Ginger's – by Alleen Barber
In Short
The jukebox is the unwitting centerpiece in a long and very dimly lit room, where deep burgundy tones, a pressed-tin ceiling, and exposed brick and dark-wood accents set a rich but laid-back mood. The bright green light of the jukebox attracts the eye; selections include k.d. lang, Melissa Etheridge, the Rolling Stones, Dee-Lite and many "Best Of" collections. The crowd is racially mixed, with a decidedly sapphic edge, and orders up everything from bottled beers to the more exciting house drinks.

I go here with my boyfriend occasionally and we always have a great time. The bartenders are very friendly and serve a good drink at a fair price. great music and atmosphere and location. Nice and spacious too. No discrimination which is refreshing!!I recommend this place for anyone who would like to just relax and be in a safe, comfortable place.
Pros: friendly environment
Cons: none

Ginger's is one of the most fun bars to hang out in along the 5th Avenue bar row in Park Slope. They have karaoke that gets everyone going on Thursday nights. They seem to be equally gay and hetero friendly, meaning they don't discriminate here and everyone is welcome regardless of race or sexual orientation. Service was great. The only problem I have with this place is their drink prices are little high. $4 for a domestic bottle is a little expensive for this neighborhood. I agree with the other reviewer that they really should have more drink specials. The patrons are very friendly here and I made new friends as soon as I walked in the door. No attitude here!
Pros: All are treated equally, karaoke on Thursdays, Fun Atmosphere, friendly patrons
Cons: HIgher than Average Drink prices
