Maracuja

If you're looking for a no-frills bar with that signature Brooklyn cool, Maracuja delivers. It's effortlessly laid-back, with just the right amount of edge—think charmingly gruff bartenders, classic drinks done right, and a vibe that doesn't try too hard. There's a couple of pool tables if you're looking to show off your break (or just break the ice), and the red-lit, booth-filled space gives it all a low-key, moody feel. Add in a crowd of locals who actually look like they live in the neighborhood, and you've got the ideal setting to figure out if it's a fling, a friendship, or something more.
