Brownstoner Pals' Basement Bar in Brooklyn

Imagine our surprise when we cracked the Post’s real estate section this weekend and saw our friends’ basement speakeasy profiled as evidence of some kind of trend in home bars. When Jeff Krasnow, who co-owns music label Velour, and Schuyler Grant, the brains and the body behind Kula Yoga in Tribeca, bought their ground floor condo in Williamsburg’s Smith Gray building four years ago, they made the most of their windowless but rather large basement by turning it into a bar-slash-music space. And while we suspect that the reporter may have exaggerated the frequency with which the now-parents tear it up in the hang-out room, we can attest to the fact that it is a much nicer place to unwind than most bars. Then again, we can’t remember the last time we made it out to a bar.
