Moving to Parkslope/ Downtown Brooklyn from the Bronx, adjusting to new neighborhood, ha, the rival borough. Surrounded by such beautiful, unique diversity in the culinary arts and experiences; The North Pole, within a year of my arrival to the neighborhood, organically has become my to go spot, my safe space. Not just when I visit alone to work on my writing at 2/3 in the morning, but also when I’ve brought a close friend to vent about her romantic relationships and heartaches, but also just to unwind and get lose, momentarily pausing once day-to-day adult struggle, by getting lost in Cartoon Networks imaginary worlds though caricatures of our human dreams and desires. It’s a great mix crowded. Clean bathrooms. Good vibe out front in the smoking area. Great conversations. What sealed it for me was and is the goose guava beer on tab. The owner is great and I’ve personally have witnessed him stand up, to the point of dismissing and politely welcoming those who don’t mind their business and disrespect others just for their own ignorance. He’s very firmly has told those folks that The North Pole isn’t the place for hate and discrimination. That aloneeeeeeee without me realizing made me stand harrddd and support this The North Pole Bar out of the more than 20 locals on the strip to grab a beer from. The price is right. The vibe is right. The love, respect, and community is felt.

Solid bar that has an incredible draft list and reasonably priced drinks. They also have some pretty interesting "shots", such as a pickled herring and vodka, mushroom and vodka, etc. I ended up getting two of the herring and vodka because I surprised by how much I actually liked it! Def do yourself a service and try it. It's cozy and dark inside, but has outside seating in front of the bar. Bartender was also super friendly. Would go back again!

One of the better bars to go to after catching a game at Barclays. Cozy interior with a small bar and long tables around. Outside they have a shed setup as well as a couple of two seaters near the door.Beers are moderately priced and they have some drink deals as well. Drafts and cans are around $7-9, specials coming in at around $5-6. Doesn't seem to be really any food; while I doubt they'd mind if some is brought in.Not much of a line to order a drink and the ambiance is chill.
