StreetLevel: Weather Up on Vanderbilt
As the pic above shows, the interior of Weather Up—the fancy new cocktail bar on Vanderbilt between Dean and Bergen that’s scheduled to open in a few weeks—is looking just about complete.

As the pic above shows, the interior of Weather Up—the fancy new cocktail bar on Vanderbilt between Dean and Bergen that’s scheduled to open in a few weeks—is looking just about complete. The white tile motif has been extended to the outside of the bar (see photo on jump), and one of the business’s partners told Grub Street he wanted to make the former storefront church into something of a jewel box. Weather Up comes c/o one of East Side Company Bar’s original investors, and Sasha Petraske (the mastermind behind Milk & Honey and Little Branch) is consulting on the bar’s drinks, according to an Eater report.

Wow, nice to know PH is getting so upscale that it needs a cocktail bar. What I really wanna know is:
a) has anyone been in it since it opened and
2) how is it? Swank? BLand? What are the prices like? How’s the scene?
PS – Barette is done. Drinks are getting too pricy, too many tools & hipsters (yeah, yeah… I’ve lived in Brooklyn my whole life, all you visitors from the midwest can bite me; get an original sense of fashion and, for God’s sake, take off those stupid porkpie hats! You all look like rejects from an 80s movie)
Jesus Christ, am I the only one who thinks places like this and Barrette should stay Manhattanside?!

Irony meter is off the charts.
Oh wait, sorry, that was the IDIOCY meter.

It’s a posting about a bar and the thread immediately devolves into nasty comments and unrelated AY “debates.” The latter amuses me because suspect the large majority of you aren’t even homeowners.
Enjoy each other’s bile.

Just because the tiles are an “era detail” doesn’t mean the joint won’t be an echo chamber. But I could be wrong… expensive cocktail bars tend to be a bit quieter than the raucous, soccer thug establishments I prefer to patronize.
First of all, anyone who brings their kids to a bar is fucking cool in my book, and those kids are gonna grow up mellow. I’ve never seen a white ass uptight yuppie bring their brat into a bar. Ever. The only people I know with kids who tag along to my favorite bars in the East village are mellow people and their kids are totally laid back and normal and well adjusted.
Actually, 11:26 pm, tiles on the ceiling are a specifically “era” detail. If you knew anything about turn of the century building, you’d know what that tile is referring to and why they chose to use it.
Besides which — the reflective quality of the tiles in a moody, dark place will add a bit of glow and glitter to the light. Great choice.
I do hate the tiles on the outside though, but it might be the photo.
WHY CAN’T THEY GIVE ME A COOL BAR IN FT GREENE SO I CAN STUMBLE HOME DRUNK WITHOUT GETTING LOST?
Don’t worry, 11:51, my family will hunt you down for meat. Spare you the struggle.
I like the style of everybody in here today! and let me just say one thing: Whichever hits first, the renegade nukes or the hell unleashed by our environmental follies, is gonna make all the current wave of babies and their parents cry and cry as they slave to exist. I give it 20 years max.
