Park Slope, Brooklyn — 5th Ave & 12th St
CommonwealthBar
A pretty decent bar at the corner of 5th & 12th.
Open every night until 4 a.m.
Brooklyn's living room
since the beginning
A neighborhood bar with some of Brooklyn's friendliest bartenders and smartest patrons (and Ray). Lots of booze, a spacious backyard patio, a pinball machine, and a jukebox consistently ranked among the best in NYC.
The essentials
Park benches, open sky, and a cold one. Our backyard is Park Slope's best-kept secret.
Ranked among NYC's best. Wire, Dinosaur Jr., the Dead Boys — Ray curated it personally.
20+ beers on tap. A deep bourbon program. Kentucky flair in the heart of Brooklyn.
Two legendary machines. No quarters needed — just the right energy.
Mon–Fri 3–7 PM · Weekends 2–7 PM
"…especially if you know how to behave appropriately."
Don't take our word for it
Always a great experience. Treated as if you were family. Easy as a solo to feel welcomed. Great music and always an interesting crowd.
Best bar in south slope! Say hi to Ray!
Quaint little bar with KENTUCKY flair. Fun atmosphere, hip atmosphere, local hangout.
The drinks were good and the bartenders were attentive and friendly. A very cool neighborhood bar. Will definitely be going back.
