Sparky's is the best damn bar in Brooklyn and the place where I seem to spend far too much of my time. Why should you go out of your way to find yourself at Sparky's?

A few answers: Because of the 26 beers on tap that differ every week, because I once watched someone almost get booted for ordering Budweiser and because it's actually an honest to goodness pub in the sense that people actually gather for community as opposed to all the other reasons one might visit such an establishment.

Located in the deep ass end of Carroll Gardens near the Gowanus Canal, Red Hook and the F Train, you'll find it at the corner of Nelson & Court. And don't yall worry bout the time, I've seen the sunrise in Sparky's and I just live around the corner - come sleep on my floor and get a real taste of Brooklyn.

And by the way, it seems to be a dog bar. I ain't got a dog, but if I did I'd bring her to Sparky's.
