Theme Bar

HOURS

Mon-Sun:5:00 PM-4:00 AM

GETTING THERE

Limited street parking. Subway: F/G to Bergen St.

PAYMENT

POPULAR DRINK

Beer is always popular, so try their local selections on tap. Think about going to summer camp, and add all of the beer and alcohol that wasn't allowed!

UNIQUE DRINK

Speciality martini cocktails include The Dirty Girl Scout and Space Camp! Try 'em, you'll like them!

FOOD

There's nothing like a late night campfire, complete with homemade s'mores and other selected snacks. This isn't the mess hall, so don't expect full meals, but light fare is available.

SEATING

Bar seating in the front. Assorted low stools, tables, and armchairs in the back.

AMBIENCE/CLIENTELE

You can't shoot half-heartedly at a theme like camp. With a kayak propped up in one corner, an open fire, Buck Hunter arcade game, and idiosyncratic cocktails like the Dirty Girl Scout, there is no room for misinterpretation. The bar works hard to stand out, but where Camp really succeeds is in the detail. Creature comforts include a selection of weathered board games and 80s movie classics projected onto the back wall if you get bored with the sports. Comically inspired graffiti in the restroom assures you no one is taking the theme too seriously, including the staff who playlist their own music from an iPod. No matter how busy it gets, and it does fill up, the flip-flopped crowd always shares a relaxed vibe.

Extras/Notes

Wii bowling on Tuesdays at 9 pm. Karaoke Wednesdays. DJ's spin on Friday and Saturday.
