StreetLevel: Heaven or Hell at New Atlantic Ave. Bar?
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.

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
I wonder how the coke will be?
Clearly they are not targeting brownstoner readers.
I think that chandelier in the ladies’ room is the gewgaw I pulled out of the hallway in my Clinton Hill SRO twenty years ago and swapped to an antique dealer in Hudson for a gorgeous 19th century gas/electric bronze original that now graces my back parlor. But it found its way home! Amazing.
Bravo to all involved for bringing some diversity to the local bar scene. I am a habitual visitor to Brooklyn Inn as that suits me but that’s not everyone’s cup of beer. The emphasis on art and custom made work also gets my big thumbs up.
I’ll cheerfully stop in and plunk down $16 for a chocolatini just to cheer them on. Good luck!

Sounds like a haven for choads (or artists who make over $200K a year … an interchangeable concept, really).
You aren’t really familiar with the people in the area then, 2:53.
I know a ton of young singles in this area that will be lining up when this place opens.
If you don’t like loitering, people who drink, smoke, bars…perhaps you should consider building a bubble to live in.
no problems with a business opening up on Atlantic that’s usually good for the neighborhood, but a bar/lounge can contribute to loitering drunken smokers outside the bar which is no fun for the people that have to live in the upstairs apts on the block. I have friends that had problems with another bar down the street, with the noise and the smoke. I can’t imagine this place has much of a chance, not the sort of place most people living in the area frequent.
Um…you think it’s less sacred for the building to sit and rot or be torn down?
You’re a loon.
