Josh Bernstein, the NY Press writer who is reviewing the city’s shadiest hang-outs for his Scary Bar Project column, already had plans to check out the Navy Yard Cocktail Lounge when the majority of our readers dubbed it The Scariest Bar in Brooklyn. (Granted, a few of you guys are far more freaked out by the bocce-playin’ Brooklyn Law dudes at Floyd than you are by scantily clad barmaids at divey strip clubs, which is, of course, understandale.) Anyway, Josh called the place “NYC’s safest, scuzziest dive”:

“Security cameras patrol the room, while the L-shaped bathroom offers a low-tech preventative measure. The angled mirror behind the toilet lets you see anyone — ne’er-do-wells or the undead — sneak up behind you.”

We’re not sure if the security cameras and mirrors make the place “safe,” but at least you’ll always see your attackers coming before you get jumped. That said, the joint seems more uncomfortable than scary. But, hey, if you don’t mind getting a big hug from a lady in a “floss-thin outfit” (and if you’ve got a few dollar bills to slip her in return), this could be your new favorite spot.
