StreetLevel: Watering Hole Replacing Aquarium
Slopers haven’t been able to buy fantails or black moors at Brooklyn Aquarium for a while now, but soon they’ll be able to drink like fish at the old 9th Street storefront.

Slopers haven’t been able to buy fantails or black moors at Brooklyn Aquarium for a while now, but soon they’ll be able to drink like fish at the old 9th Street storefront. The owners of Smith Street’s frat-acular Angry Wade’s are opening a bar in the former pet-supply store space, which has been under renovation for a few months. The new business is going to have a pool table and a small kitchen, and it’s expected to open within the next few weeks. Think you’ll give it a shot? GMAP
I would agree with the above comment at 11:48 PM. Angry Wade’s is neither a hang-out for coke dealers nor does it have a “rest stop” atmosphere.
The bar is full of beautiful hand-carved wood, there are plenty of friendly and attractive staff and Wade is a generous person and smart business owner.
Most of the comments here seem to come from people who walk by and judge the entire bar by the “look” of its clientele. These appear to be the same people who think that the YMCA, a gym, is the “projects” behind the photo.
I would strongly recommend going to Angry Wade’s. I’ve always had a wonderful time there.
Wade doing blow is a joke. As a very good friend of Melissa and Wade to this day, I can tell you for a fact that that is far from their scene. Being a charitable and genuine guy, Wade is the type of person that any neigborhood should be proud to embrace with open arms.
park dope rocks.
I woudln’t exactly call one buidling a “Project” and so what if it contains low or middle income housing. Oh my god!
Is Wade hot? if you find Peter from the Family Guy good looking your bound to be attracted to him.
Yes and when there is a huge shortage of low income housing in this city, I doubt converting to market rate housing will be an easy task. Just take it like a good realtor or homeowner and accept that you have a project in your neighborhood. Nothing to be embarrassed about.
cool. cobble hill is great.
so is park slope.
we’re lucky to live out here.
“you do realize that park slope gentrified way before cobble hill, don’t you? no one moved to cobble hill 10 years ago.”
FWIW the “Brownstone Revival” in Brooklyn started in the mid-50s when house-hunters who were priced out of Brooklyn Heights crossed Atlantic Avenue to look in Cobble Hill.Park Slope started to gentrify a few years later.
I don’t have any ax to grind hear-I don’t live in either neighborhood, but gentrification in Brownstone Brooklyn started before many readers of this blog were born.
So back to the matter at hand – will we be able to get a good bag of blow at this place?
Heard Wade always keeps the good stuff for himself, that’s why the wife dumped him.
