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. 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…
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
Cool…I sure hope the thugs from the projects frequent this place too!
Oh let’s not forget the coke dealers…they love Angry Wade’s too!
It wasn’t the greatest pet store but it was an old time neighborhood store. Our turtle hasn’t had a good meal since it closed. I hate to see these small businesses disappear, we have lost a lot this year.
I think it’s spelled “frat-tacular,” with two T’s and a hyphen. “Fratacular” doesn’t run out of my mouth right.
yes, at one time all of these neighborhoods were thriving.
but after the demise of much of urban life in the 50’s and 60’s the resurgence of brownstone brooklyn was begun largely in park slope.
to say that park slope is becoming cobble hill and carroll gardens is just aimed at starting a fight.
Nobody moved to that part of the slope 20 years ago either. And 100 years ago Bed Stuy was a very expensive neighborhood. And 10,000 years ago all of Brooklyn was ice. But none of this has much bearing on todays market, does it?
Once upon a time Bed Stuy was quite gentrified as well…
when are we getting a new gay bar in the neighborhood is what i want to know?
excelsior is great, but it’s also packed to the gills with all the new queens in the neighborhood.
you can barely move on a fri/sat in there.
i certainly think the neighborhood could support another….
Wades is pretty crappy. All the atmosphere of a highway rest stop with service to match. The little bar on the corner of 9th and 6th ave is nice tho.
“frat-acular”
There goes the neighborhood.
