What's a good sports bar near Barclays?

[caw]

That is heading into one of the worst neighborhoods in brooklyn. I get detailed to work in Rescue 2 every once and a while..the last time I went I was asking the guys about what it is like over there now. They said it is good until you hit Grand, after that it is like the old days...straight up ghetto. One of the busiest areas for fire duty in NYC, also is one of the highest crime and violent crime (ie: gun crime) rates in NYC. Not a place to be exploring on foot during the day, never mind at night. If you go west towards Court St you are MUCH better off, much more of a selection...MUCH more friendly of a neighborhood!!!!

I don't know where that post came from but Plan B is a run-of-the-mill sports bar squarely in Prospect Heights. You might be bored but you won't get shot. It's not even remotely one of the most dangerous areas in Brooklyn. If it is then I don't even know what you'd call Brownsville or East New York.

Yep I'd venture that Prospect Heights is one of the safest neighborhoods in Brooklyn right now. Plan B is in the midst of nothing overly spectacular, unless you count Ample Hills (fantastic, if expensive ice cream). Never been to Hot Bird but it's before Washington Street on Atlantic. That's pretty safe.

Past Grand can get a bit hairy at night but isn't that bad at all. Pre-Washington is just full of strollers and completely gentrified right now.

That's why I said plan B, average bar that's a dedicated sports bar, and is walkable. That part of prospect heights is totally safe.

Hell, I feel more unsafe when I walk to the spigot.

Plan B works, too. Anyone feel strongly about either one (Plan B or 4th Ave Pub)?

my friend goes to nets games and he said hes thinking 200 on 5th ave in brooklyn, big sports bar good food and cheap

 

[Rico444]

That sounds good to me. Not too far a walk. And cheap is always good.

There's is hope for s/w safety! Judge that has been on NYPD's butt for stop & frisk has been canned by higher court for crusading and being partial.

10 block hike to 200 5th is long.

ABC...Easy as 123

200 Fifth

4th ave doesn't like getting taken over for sporting events

Barring a Joe Lohta miracle starting Jan 2015 hold on to your hat..20 years of progress and improvement will be destroyed in 18 months max by DeBlasio! For those of you that lived through the days of NYC during the Dinkins Administration get ready for a return to the wild wild west.

soo 200 5th?nice, big and close enough we dont need a taxi, far enough to walk off the beer and food so we can drink more inside

 

[Rico444]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll make a thread in a couple of days with the bar name in the title.

Make sure you have the cavalry or the Guardian Angles with you on that walk! 10 blocks is NOT next door.
