Bizarre is new amazing French night club on 12 Jefferson (All photos by Peter Dressel for Bushwick Daily)
Bizarre, a new French night club in Bushwick, opened one month ago with a three-day festival. The gothic wooden bar, graced with chandeliers, religious statues, brick walls, and beautiful polished tin ceilings made the experience delightful, and Bizarre earned itself a reputation as one of the neighborhood’s most distinctive bars.
Absinthe cocktail anyone?
On the opening day, as well as on any Friday or Saturday night, the bar is decently busy already at 9PM. The endless drink menu will generously make you wonder what to order: wine, a cocktail, a whiskey ginger, or one of the absinthe cocktails?! We tried the Cabaret Sauvignon and a Johnny Mad Dog (espresso liqueur, domaine de canton, tequila, sliced jalapenos and a lime twist), and a an anise-infused Manhattan. The drinks were delightful!
Cocktails are Bizarre are delightful!
The music at Bizarre is a pure A+! While we were there, the DJ played a jazz rendition of “Smells like Teen Spirit” and the most annoying children song of all “The Song That Never Ends” by the Stumblebum Brass Band, followed by funk and sultry Latin tunes.
Behold burlesque fans! At Bizarre you are likely to witness smoking hot go-go dancers on the bar but also more obscure performance pieces like dancer pulling a rosary out of her vagina or performance artist cutting herself out of a dress.

i went to amsterdam once and got some real absinthe while listening to the clerk lecture about how rare true absinthe is. basically if it’s green, its fake. it’s gota be nearly clear with a yellowish tint. so judging by the pictures, place mighttt be legit, except real absinthe is illegal in the states, so i dont know.
Absinthe is legal in the U.S.: http://voices.yahoo.com/absinthe-legal-united-states-532012.html
“smoking hot go-go dancers on the bar …dancer pulling a rosary out of her vagina or performance artist cutting herself out of a dress.”
None of those things are burlesque, but good try!
“While we were there, the DJ played a jazz rendition of “Smells like Teen Spirit” is this satire?
This sounds fucking terrible.
There is no such thing as “east williamsburg” its a marketing term.
Bushwick has jumped the shark. Its been fun, everyone.
*kills self*
Don’t you sound like fun.
The bathroom line for the single, single occupancy stall will be the death knell. Left for Bossa Nova Civic Club because everyone I was with needed the restroom. Cute, but so are a lot of places.
