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?

Geez. I looked it up. A racial epithet. Lovely.
Actually, maybe not new, but new to me. Wish I hadn’t.
This kind of dress code only occurs in neighborhoods with prominent black and latino neighborhoods. You can wear sneakers to every bar in the upper east side, ya know. They’re trying to say, “No thugs” or “Don’t start sh*t here”. It’s stupid and yup it’s kind of racist.
3:58 and 4:02, check out urbandictionary.com to answer your question
You can’t wear flip flops to a tiki bar?
What is this world coming to?
maybe the kid was just carrying the knife somewhere
also 25 and up?
im out.
Yes 3:58, I think I get the context too but where in the world did that phrase come from.
Guests take note…I’m freely admitting my ignorance of this here. LOL
This place is most likely owned by someone with experience as a bouncer or doorman. Dress codes typically reduce violence at clubs because people are reluctant to ruin their dress clothes by getting into a fight. This strikes you all as surprising because most of the places you frequent do not have to face these types of problems or at least not as often as these owners are used to.
2:54: what in Oprah’s good name is a pingo pingo? (i get what you mean from the context but that is a new one!)
3:01: I don’t think Dave was steering anything. This type of dress code policy is absolutely intended to keep out “a certain group”
ooooooh. I said it! a “certain group”
jeez – It’s like they’re expecting gangs, thugs and jailbreakers to try to hijack their new bar. I dunno about a place that needs a metal detector before it even opens.
Check the website – and be prepared to get groped by a bouncer if you go. Will he have a box of latex gloves too?
hilarious…
