New Review Fridays: Clover Club
Posted at 12:11:22 PM in At the bar, Bar buzz, Bar openings, Brooklyn nightlife, Just opened, New reviewsby Justine Goodman
It's Friday again, and this week we review Carroll Gardens' swanky new cocktail den, Clover Club.
Hits: Though cocktail hounds may sneer, the menu graciously explains the distinctions between cobblers and highballs, bucks and mules, and swizzles versus royales, introducing the uninitiated to the nuances of high-class cocktails.
Misses: Those left without a table or a seat in the back room are forced to precariously clutch precious stemware at the main bar, amid the at-times ferocious weekend crowds.
Read our full editorial review of Clover Club then peruse other New & Notable bar reviews or check out our list of spots that are too new to review (but not too new to get you hammered).
Coming next week: The fancy new Pool Deck at the Empire Hotel.
It has such a great atmosphere. Nice place.

going there off-hours is when you get to fully appreciate the true prohibition vibe, watching the process of a true cocktail made before your very eyes. otherwise, the crowds can make it a bit of a chore.
