About 1,140 feet inland from the banks of the East River sits the Navy Yard Cocktail lounge, also known as J.J.'s, a watering hole with no telephone and an unseemly reputation dating back to Brooklyn's waterfront days of yore. A sign on the door screams PRIVATE.

Get past that sign and you'll find a shabby bar with a few video poker screens and a sassy broad behind the counter. No big deal. However, this one's a doozy. Dubbed everything from secret stripper bar to the scariest bar in Brooklyn, neighbors often wear a visit to this dive, on the corner of Washington and Flushing Avenues, like a badge of honor; the bar as portal to a forgotten yesteryear.]]> http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2009/02/navy-yard-dive-not-dead-yet/feed/ 0 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2009/01/brooklynite-punched-by-cabbie-lives-to-tell-great-story-someday/ http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2009/01/brooklynite-punched-by-cabbie-lives-to-tell-great-story-someday/#comments Wed, 14 Jan 2009 04:21:01 +0000 Nicole Brydson http://brooklyntheborough.com/?p=213 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2009/01/brooklynite-punched-by-cabbie-lives-to-tell-great-story-someday/feed/ 0 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/10/the-quietest-places-to-pass-a-sunday/ http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/10/the-quietest-places-to-pass-a-sunday/#comments Thu, 16 Oct 2008 03:51:00 +0000 Nicole Brydson http://brooklyntheborough.tumblr.com/post/54786224 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/10/the-quietest-places-to-pass-a-sunday/feed/ 0 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/06/a-tree-salad-grows-in-brooklyn/ http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/06/a-tree-salad-grows-in-brooklyn/#comments Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:38:09 +0000 Nicole Brydson http://brooklyntheborough.com/?p=95 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/06/a-tree-salad-grows-in-brooklyn/feed/ 0 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/05/the-thinning-blue-line/ http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/05/the-thinning-blue-line/#comments Fri, 30 May 2008 22:37:13 +0000 Nicole Brydson http://brooklyntheborough.com/?p=90 http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2008/05/the-thinning-blue-line/feed/ 0
