by Mike B. on "now at the bar where my friend's band is playing. there is a hipster in a dark corner sulking and writing. he hasn't moved in a half hour and may be dead. I am dressed like a typical Republican." I'd been to the older Knitting Factory a way back (the one that was multiple levels). my friend's band, who I kept promising to see but hadn't yet, was playing here, so I figured I'd venture deep into Occupied Williamsburg to right this wrong. the bar itself was decent. some booths, an uncomfortable-looking table, and some stools at the bar. a bunch of organic beers on tap - yep, we are definitely DEEP in the People's Republic of Hipsteria! luckily, Brooklyn Brewery Pennant Ale, Stella, and Sweet Action are also on tap, and they have a variety of cans. there's a small "stage" with a mixer and a speaker, which I guess they use for stuff like open mics. beyond the Great Glass Wall behind the bar itself is the concert venue proper. it's fairly small, but the acoustics are decent, and there's a bar in here as well. drafts are $5, a mixed drink was $7 (it was not a big cup, but was potent), the bathroom was surprisingly clean. I'd go back to see more shows here, even though it is in the middle of Occupied Williamsburg. my anti-irony deflector shield is powerful. and, in response to the text I sent (which is quoted at the beginning of this review), one of my friends responded with "you are a true American hero".
by Delia Taomoto on the place is good the service is a lil slow but the food and the drinks omg this was my first time trying ethiopian food and thats awesome and the portion of the plate is huge or well it was enough for me. you might have to wait 10- 15 min since you sit to the time you get your food and like 20-30 min on a busy day but if you like the beer try the honey beers meanwhile you wait for your food
