Editorial Review for Living Room Lounge – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
On the border between Park Slope and Sunset Park, surrounded by residential housing, Latin beauty parlors and taquerias, this sprawling loft of a bar brings together gentrifying types from points north and south. Exposed brick walls, ornate vintage couches and club chairs warmly accommodate groups, which can be sparse due to lack of foot traffic, though teeming at happy hour, birthday parties and performances. The jukebox is filled with the greatest hits of the Who, the Cars and Neil Diamond, among other comfort tunes.
The Draw
The owner, who previously presided over 13 Little Devils, keeps the program varied, with karaoke Tuesdays, rock and jazz bands Wednesdays, open mic Thursdays, DJs on the weekends, and a range of themed one-off events. The most popular is a burlesque night every second Friday of the month, featuring such local stars as Anita Cookie, Peekaboo Pointe and Nasty Canasta.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyBeer and well drinks are two-for-one from 5pm to 7pm Tuesday to Thursday, and beginning at 3pm on Fridays--a perk for the teachers nearby.
Know Before You GoSince the lineup may change, it's wise to call and check on upcoming events.

Pool table, cheap drinks, tons of room and potential. Projector for awesome movie nights and certainly feels like a living room! I can't wait till the neighborhood takes advantage of this place. Great for parties!! I have even been to weddings there.
Pros: projector, cool atmosphere, pool, lots of room
Cons: sometimes empty
