The space is attractive, with lots of small groupings of low seats with small cocktail tables in the center of each group, many of whose tables held Reserved signs. The back area of the club was not open at the time that we arrived; however, we peeked around the rope and could tell that those tables were reserved as well. We saw at least two large-screen TVs on the walls, although clearly patrons come here for the live DJ. (We left before the action really began.)
Cocktails and appetizers are in the $12 to $15 range; beer and wine are also available. Although there is no cover charge, they institute a $3 per person mandatory coat check fee, which makes perfect sense in the winter (in lieu of a cover charge), but we wonder what they do in the summer months when no one has a coat to check? You definitely want to visit here in the warm weather - there is a huge outdoor terrace with cool, low-slung furniture and some papasan-type chairs, plus smoking is allowed outside, and you have great views of Brooklyn.
We did not stay long; we really just wanted to have a quick
nightcap before returning to our hotel. We appreciated that no one made us feel
out of place or uncomfortable, even though we showed up in a suit jacket and
business dress that we wore to dinner, and even though we clearly were not part
of their usual young, clubbing crowd. From what we could see, Brooklyn Terrace
looks like a great nighttime spot!
