StreetLevel: Tiki Time in Greenwood Heights
A reader dropped a line about Brooklyn’s Tiki Bar, which is opening this weekend on 33rd Street and 4th Avenue: “Supposed to have karaoke, an outdoor patio, and great frozen drink specials- also, a dress code (no hats, sneakers, work boots, etc)!” Zombie nights by the cemetery?

$3 Mojito Specials on Tuesday night. Tonight is the karoake night- gay night, too.
I CHECKED OUT THIS TIKI BAR AND IT IS SUPRISINGLY A HOT SPOT . GREAT CROWD GREAT MUSIC GREAT DRINKS AND THAT DRESS CODE WAS THE BEST THING THEY DID! FINALLY A DECENT BAR IN BROOKLYN .. NEVER EXPECTED IT TO BE THAT GOOD ! IM TIRED OF GOING TO THESE BARS AND ALL YOU SEE IS 12 YEAR OLDS…INFACT THEY SHOULD APPLY THIS TO EVERY BAR IN NY. DETECTORS DIDNT BOTHER ME OR ANYONE ELSE THERE ..IT ACTUALLY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO IDIOT MESSING UP OUR NIGHT.!
Definitely pro-new business. Those crappy 99cent stores in Sunset Park can only go so far. And with the new, trendy crowd moving in, those stores just can’t cater to their needs. Who wants to shop at a store that looks like it’s a million years old, has dusty products that are doubled, tripled, in price, and is all in Spanish…? Out with the old, in with the new. That area around Sunset Park itself is going to be so cute with cafes on the sidewalk, park-front condos, and little boutiques like farther up 5th has in Park Slope.
As for Tiki, haha, I spoke with the owner regarding this age policy, and he said he just wants to make sure everyone is 21 and up.
It’s really cute inside!
I see nothing wrong with wanting a more established clientele, usually people over 25 tend to behave more like adults than the just 21 crowds looking to get wasted or laid. Perhaps that is what this established is hoping to create, a relaxed friendly yet not frat house atmosphere. In regards to the metal detectors, unless you plan on bringing along some sort of weapon really what is the big objection?
i love sunset park and living there. i love all the authenic businesses, but i’m also all for newer businesses opening up and drawing a new crowd– even if it is park slope overflow. but really, am i to feel good about going to this place if they have metal detectors. also, the men over 25 thing? promotion of sugar daddies/craddle robbing much.
I like seeing the ladies out walking their little dogs and the young men out on their nightly jogs around the neighborhood. The streets and houses are immaculate and once they demolish some of the uglier buildings along Fourth and turn them into condos, Greenwood will become super-desirable. The D-Express stop is right on 36th. It’s literally 15 minutes to West 4th. Very convenient. Very nice, up and coming, little neighborhood.
7:36 = Bitter Sunset Parker scared of rising rents and the new tide of decent, upper-class, working young professionals moving in and cleaning out the originally beautiful neighborhood.
Lots of shabby new condos being built in Greenwood Heights!
As a park slope property owner myself I am glad about the gentrification. It has allowed for higher rents that honestly only midwest shmucks would pay, so I am very happy the schucks have arrived!
