A tipster writes in to inform us that the Atlantic Avenue building that was originally a synagogue (and, more recently, Time Trader Antiques) has not lost its religion. On the contrary, the subterranean space between Hoyt and Bond appears to have undergone an extensive renovation in order to transform it into a high-end lounge named Deity. Judging by the soon-to-open bar’s website, Deity’s décor combines stained-glass windows, leather seating, exposed brick, a logo design based on the Star of David, and a new age sensibility. To wit: Deity’s site claims the lounge is adorned by goddesses of light…a meeting place for the artisans, friends and family of Deity—for the people of Brooklyn. No clue how expensive drinks are going to be or when it’ll officially open, but it’s definitely going to be interesting to see how much thirst there is for this sort of place in Boerum Hill. GMAP
