Brooklynites - Superfine, the Bohemian Haven

Among Brooklyn there is one neighborhood that sits right on the other side of the city, a jewel- Dumbo. Among the bars that inhabit this small town there is one that truly shines - Superfine. Even the owners initials portray the love and hard work that goes into this bar- T.L.C (Tanya, Laura, and Cara Lee). Tanya sages the space every morning to give the space a positive vibe; Laura hand picks all the ingredients of the food by season from local farmers; and Cara Lee creates a mellow artistic environment with lighting and an amazing drink menu. Not your typical owners, they are at their establishment everyday working with the floor, kitchen, and bar staff. Not your typical bar, they strive for a utopia between the staff and they’ve been there for ten years maintaining a copasetic relationship with both locals and tourists coming over the bridge.

Monthly art shows keep your eyes busy behind the bar while simple organic food dishes keep your taste buds busy on your plate. A drink menu heavy with infused vodkas, rums, and syrups with fresh made mixes is a perfect compliment to both. They have infused jalapeƱo into Dan Ayckroyd’s Skull vodka for a spicy sour drink called El Craneo. They also infused Green Apple Smirnoff with cinnamon to make a sweet drink called the Betty (named after Betty Paige). Another favorite is the Movie Star which features a ginger infused simple syrup.

The welcoming feel of the place is enough to keep you coming back time and time again. The free pool table and convient location, first stop into Brooklyn off the F train, can’t hurt either. A heavy favorite of artist and bohemians alike has also gained favoritism among the yuppies and young families infiltrating the neighborhood. Whether you want a great meal or fun late night scene Superfine is the place to find it.
